I'd never even heard of Jimmy Buffet until his death and I'd never heard his music before but since hearing about his death, Margaritaville has been on repeat for me, this is a fun song, I like it.

A moment of silence for the untimely death of real federalism. :(

You mean people who complain about being NEET?
Yeah, honestly the first time I was unemployed was not fun, made me feel useless.
But this last time I had a place of my own and I filled the day with reading/ learning to play an instrument. Going for walks wherever and being completely free. I had no issue of feeling useless.

Good luck anon, I've never been one to dream about traveling with a camper but I can see the appeal. With my work it's probably incredibly easy to just quit and start up again whenever I want (trade job/practical work).

Going full NEET never spoke to me but working for 7 months and taking the other 5 off is what I'd like. But for me the decision comes down to how you're going to be when you get older. It's all fun and games doing this in your twenties or maybe even thirties. But I think loneliness strikes harder when you're nearing 50 and childless.

These threads are like a circle in time. They always contain the exact same words, I start to think that either the guenonfag is playing both Shankara and the anti-Shankara sides for fun, or you retards are all a bunch of 70IQ automatons that spew pre programmed replies.

Hey my birthday was yesterday.

I love my mom, she made some mistakes but she has only good intentions for me and has helped me a lot. Now that I'm getting older (mid 20's) I see how we are alike in a lot of ways. Good relationship.

Seriously, I have some complaints about my father but some people really act like babies. Unless your mom molested or was very cruel to you, keep the complaining to a minimum.

Malignantly useless

Read Dorohedoro some weeks ago. I really enjoyed it, more because of the atmosphere and the surealistic setting. The story was kinda meh.
Maybe check out >>12990847 or Neuromancer, they are cyberpunk but are as chaotic. Else I dont know much.

This one was usually fun. Pick an author, then write the following sentence in the style of said author. Other Anons try to guess the name of the author.

>no, it is the READERS who are wrong

This is the wrong attitude to have, anon. You made the conscious decision to post in a criticism thread, so be an adult about it. Multiple people have said (and rightly so) that your writing is too dense and flowery. If you're looking for a food analogy, that passage about "Peach and Pumpkin Skies" was like caramel fudge brownies: pretty good for a couple bites, but it's much too rich to make an entire meal out of it. I don't think I could stomach reading more than a few pages of a book written like that, and it's not me being lazy, I'm just allergic to verbosity.

Is every great writer a narcissist?
