Very based

Do you love her or are you just afraid of being alone for the rest of your life?

When I'm with her, I really feel like myself. I'm only 24, but I wouldn't imagine being with another person. We have a very good communication: we know what each one wants without any filter. So yes, I love her and I would feel alone without her presence. For now I live absorbing everything that gives me joy. I quit my job to be able to travel around Europe with her. I will then settle in Germany for a new life.

I have collected the lists of recommended books from the Western canon (Bloom, Adler, university recommended reading, etc.) I have recently completed the Platonic and Aristotelian body, read most of the Latin authors (being Italian, I learned Latin in high school) and am continuing with medieval literature. I completed the Bible, the most recommended Buddhist sutras and started with the Koran.
Among the favorite fiction books I've completed:
>Moby Dick
>The red and the black
>Candide
>Journey to the West

as non-fiction:
>History of art (Gombrich)
>What is art (Tolstoy)
>Politics (Aristotle)
and the list would go on for quite a while

Considering you need pathetic validation in form anonymous upcummies from other people by counting and then mentioning the number of books that you have read then yeah of course you are
