Books on late twenty year old wage slaves that are finding it hard to make a living out of their actual passion in life?

Just solve the problem. Move to a city where you can scavenge for everything you need that you are using money for right now. Embrace idleness. Now, if you were saying that you are spending so much time scavenging that you don’t have time to be idle, that’s a real problem.

Keep the Aspidistra Flying by Orwell. Guy in interwar London is an aspiring poet grappling with being a piece of shit but secretly kinda liking it and resenting middle class life he could have if he could live with selling out and writing for an ad firm. Solid read and one of his overlooked novels.

Except a girl cucks him in the end and he tragically becomes a middle class bum instead of living the life of a heroic degenerate.

Read Lacan to understand passion and desire. fiction is for those whomst can't parlay with Real theory.

I didn't wanna spoil it for OP but yes lmao haha what a puss. It's literally the modern day equivalent of being like
>Maybe I should just get a playstation and smoke weed!
>Well, so what if my wife has a black son!?
>What exactly IS so bad about reddit anyways!?
I read Burmese Days after this expecting a similar ending and I was so surprised when the nibba just done went and killed himself instead.

Why would I read about the life I am living?

Eh, either way I'm probably just going to become a teacher in my mid 30's and not break my back over expensive, fashionable food cooked for the retarded "elites of society".

I'm looking at you Bono, Martin Garix and the President of Hungary.
