>fried brain because baby web browsed and watched porn
try having your brain fried over drugs, the former and having a constant shadow of disappointment follow you because you'll never be as consistent and normal as your brother, you'll never be normal and your hardly talented

Truly fuckin tragic how nobody talks about Schopenhauers corrections and overall destruction of some of Kant's philosophies and perfectly described all the forms in his thesis. Instead everyones obsessed with his aesthetics which are good and all but probably the least interesting part of him. I read from his thesis-WW1-WW2, and can say his aesthetics are such a small part of the world he creates. His opinion on women isent really that different from traditional conservative stuff, its actually pretty basic shit it only attracts people because someone of his prestige said it.

>The way we judge each others papers is each assignment is swapped, traded and shuffled in class to keep the judging unbiased
>After a few short stories copies of MY poem are handed out(we have to print copies for everyone). We spend a few minutes reading before judging and I can already see the shock on her face.

>Crush:"Me, first thing I'd like to point out *rereads a few verses* this is absolute garbage poetry, it doesent rhyme, the theme is incoherent, and the tone brings a lugubrious mood that makes the whole thing a bore.

Have a bunch of poems and some short story's written. I only ever got published in my schools newspaper. I'd love to attempt to publish my stuff but don't really have any direction also, am a wage slave cuck. (Correspondant)

Any advice on where to start OP. I write alot of essays its my favorite thing to write now-a-days.

>I'll never write a good book
>I'll never be the iconic writer I dream to be
>I'll never be able to lose my virginity even though having had many close relationships
>I'll get my friends back
>The very end of my existence will be a flash thought from a friend and or acquaintance just before they get up and wipe their ass.
>Everything I touch, everything I get involved in is just fucking ruined. I'm a walking shit storm, a burden to everything I touch I can't make proper conversation without making the air uneasy.

Recommend me some books? :)
