Ah, yes Flanfly: The noble struggle of the self-willed and there struggle against society. These stoic that has achieved the utter control, everything done conciously and with reason behind it. It is not the fight of the petty rebel or impassioned anarch, who seeks simply an idol to topple or a king to slay. The struggle is that to maintain a personal vision, a self-contained philosophy that is not limited to the petty views of those who claim dominion over culture and convention. A philospher king without a kingdom, a wandering prince that has already claimed everything in the path.
As we see Flandre Scarlet (the sister of the noblewoman Remilia Scarlet) run through the mansion, we see witness to her escapades: The devouring of the imp Koakuma's cake, the destruction of Patchouli Knowledge's formula, the injury to the chief maid, and the splashing of tea in Remilia's face. These are the enemies that a self-moving and stoic individual must face: The Petty Hedonist, the Constrained Intellectual, the Rigid Ruler, and the Decadent Elite. Flan does not mean ill will, and has done little that is permanent, yet these foes would seek her undoing as it is their way to trample upon those who break free of norms. They each latch upon but a mere facet (represented by Flandre dividing into four) to seek and destroy, as it is the rule of ignorant individuals to destroy those which they cannot understand.

Having such a temporary pleasure deprived by the self-moving one, who only sought such an experience to better herself, Koakuma pursues Flandre. Flandre hides in the chandelier, knowing such transient and boorish individuals would never seek to look upwards from their mire of indulgence. Then we see Patchouli, so angered and fixated upon the loss of some useless intellectual "achievement" that lacks any actual merit, she cannot see the natural (represented by the potted plant) state of the world and overlooks Flandre. The maid Sakuya, having her elegance so rudely toppled, seeks vengeance upon a foe she can understand. But she cannot understand the plight of those who work under her, so she never does think to look in the quarters of those so oppressed by her. And finally, Remilia, the slave-queen to all convention and romance, has built a maze of luxury with her; a perfect hiding spot for Flandre, who but recline between gilded frames.
Confounded once more, we see these foes focused upon the singular: They must destroy the one who threatens their structure, their cathedral of sin. Flandre leads them on through a trail, a trail leading to such heights where one's intellect, one's very fibers of being are questioned. The hedonist, lacking such will or character, cannot continue. Passing through the wide corridors, the intellectual falters and topples; a victim to the absurdity and incalculable nature of life. The haughty thief and the indifferent constable but stops and laugh at such a proclaimed "intellect" has not the knowledge to understand the harsh realities. We are left but two, the maid and the noble. Flandre simply soars through the hall, even performing a small spin to show how at ease one who understands the logic of life is. The noble races by, sped on through the power of her own wealth. The maid, as determined as she is, is stopped by an even harsher reality: Her lack of grace and refinement. And then there is one. Remilia, so used to her pleasure and seclusion, is judged by the relentless might of the Sun. Flandre has concealed herself with a parasol, the only trapping of wealth that was necessary. So little, but so much to conceal oneself from the merciless eyes of Judgement.
And we are left to the self-driven, hiding behind the common man; triumphant with no violence, no anger, no feeling. Only by letting go of one's passions, breaking one's chains that restrain one's will, can you achieve such a flight that would cause such anger in those who seek dominion over you.

I don't want to bring real-world stress into the beauty that is flanfly threads, but these are the only threads for random conversation these days.
I turned twenty. Life has felt like an eternity. How can, or why would, anyone ever even turn thirty, the age of wizardhood? To live an eternity and a half sounds terrible.
What should I do with my life in between now and going to gensokyo, whatever year that may occur?

Not sure what to do with yourself? Just work an entry level job for a while, travel with the money you've earned. By that time you might probably know what you want/need so you don't have to work in a super sucky job, dude.

>I turned twenty.
I turned twenty the year /jp/ opened.

Somewhere later that year I stopped visiting 4chan (and most of the internet that wasn't done for work). For about five years I did about a hundred things I never thought I'd do in life. I came back to lurk /jp/ and /d/ about six months ago after a big life transition left me with fewer IRL friends.

I'm still doing new things by and by, less of a shut-in than I was the last time /jp/ was part of my life, but they're fairly standard, career-focused things, and not big "life firsts" like dating or getting my own place, etc. I'm tired spending eight years as an extrovert. Maybe I'll tire of /jp/ again. Another six months or a year, maybe? Then I'll get fed up with being antisocial go look for more to do. For now though, it's nice to just relax and scroll through some touhou threads like the old days.

If you ask me HOW I found something "to do with my life", I couldn't say for sure. I'm glad that I did, but the how is a little hazy. The first step was spending less time on the internet, that's for sure, but even if I shared the rest I don't think it would matter. My path won't be yours, but you'll find something.

You weren't even alive when I first started surfing this information superhighway, man. You have everything ahead of you. The fact that these things are worrying you is proof that you still have it the desire to seek out your goals. This is a good thing.
This is a bad place to seek advice because you're talking to NEETs and hikis that have given up on all those things. Or maybe that's just something I tell myself so I don't feel ostracized on /jp/ in 2016.

It's sometimes there, sometimes not. I appreciate /jp/'s and a.s.h's views on life, which is why I seek ideas here rather than elsewhere. To give up isn't a bad thing in all cases: in some board games, like go, it's customary to resign as soon as you realise you won't win.

I'm the same age as you, I guess I just want to stay as I am right now. The only change in my life that would interest me is if the world was changed completely, and better. Since that likely can't happen from anything I can do, for now I just want to stay as I am. I don't really understand why not being part of society is made out to be so bad, I like being alone. My fear is that my body may give out sooner rather than later, and I just want to enjoy however much time I have.
