Now I have neither happiness nor unhappiness.
Everything passes.
That is the one and only thing I have thought resembled a truth in the society of human beings where I have dwelled up to now as in a burning hell.
Everything passes.
This year I am twenty-seven. My hair has become much greyer. Most people would take me for over forty.
Can anyone recommend me any books for this feeling?

>>brother bought for me a house on the coast >>it's an ancient thatch-covered house that's some serious bank behind your blogpost. thatched houses are a major morale hazard and insurance on those bitches is priced accordingly. >book rec makes it Veeky Forums dorian gray and the fucking sticky you spoiled sunflower
Jacob Miller
>bought me a free house
You're literally living the dream. Stop complaining
Nicholas James
>not being homeless is the dream What shithole of a country do you live in? OP: I highly recommend Stoner by John Williams
Christian Brown
>What shithole of a country do you live in? where do you live that your brother buying you a house is not a major purchase beyond the usual?
Daniel Jenkins
probably should read some Calvin and Hobbes and find a hobby take up jogging or something
You're out of the hospital but you might want to focus on your health a little bit before you decide you're going to read Sartre and Stoner
Adrian Ross
>ancient thatch covered house >on the outskirts of a village If you have an actual career then this is not that big of an investment if you think it will save a loved one's life.
Ian Perez
>major purchase >"oh no, it's just a summerhouse :3" I can see why you became an addict.
Juan Wilson
>If you have an actual career a house is not that big of an investment HAHAHAJAHAHA
> >Everything passes. >This year I am I am twenty-seven. >My hair has become grey Oh for fuck's sake, grow up OP.
Cameron Long
I'm not OP you fucking tard How much do you think this damn house costed?
Liam Clark
it's still a major purchase, you absolute ninny.
Carter Martinez
Crime and Punishment, in particular focus on the relationship between Razumikim and Raskolnikov.
Dylan Bennett
I could buy a shack for $10k. Monthly payments on it would be about the same as a car payment. For a middle class person that's not a burden.
Elijah Torres
>gets a free house on the comfy coast >muh muh muh muh
you should be killed you insufferable fag
Dominic Cruz
>be a recovering addict >with zero direction in life >probably have no career or job >probably have zero day to day contact physical human beings besides some caretaker >probably have no friends >attempt suicide >some faggot tells you to kill yourself because he's jealous of the shithole you live in
Dylan Clark
Be grateful for what you have.how's that for advice? You're not special. I used to have a drug problem, I tried to kill myself, and I grew the fuck up. You have people who are obviously helping you and you act like some drama queen. Live in real life and get your shit in order instead of trying to summon pity on some autistic peruvian message board.
Charles Robinson
all thatched cottages on google are coming up with standard house prices (keep in mind the land is most of the price of any house). what you consider middle class might be in toronto, but not in the majority of the world. it's a major purchase for the middle class to buy a second home outright even if it is a shack.
Ryan Long
Once again: I'm not OP, hence the use of "probably" in my comment. I'm pretty sure he hasn't even posted in this thread. And sure, his blogpost may be pity party summons, but I think there is some actual merit to it even if he didn't dress it up very well. The laxatives bit is actually pretty funny in a morbid way.
Matthew Morris
all those problemes are your fault, you didn't become an addict from nowhere, retard. Everyone deals with what you are dealing with. But they don't act like little bitches over it
>with zero direction in life >probably have no career or job >probably have zero day to day contact physical human beings >probably have no friends
me right there, but i have no free house. i would do anything just to have a place in the outskirts where i could think straight.
Ayden Jones
You were in there for three years?? I was in there for three days for attempting suicide three times, but I was able to lie to get out after my hold ended. Holy shit how did you survive?
Also I recommend Slaughter House Five
Henry Cooper
>i'm an enabler you're not helping OP
Thomas Rogers
Sorry, I just like being angery. I'm still not buying the laxatives/sleeping pill story. In any case, if xe was serious xe'd have known xe can't OD on OTC sleeping pills, especially in America, at least as far as I know what is available there.
Levi Williams
I feel you OP
Blake Peterson
>calling him a faggot helps him I just want to point out that the majority of this thread consists of people being jealous of a person with basically nothing going well for him simply because he lives in a shitty house on the outskirts of a village. >I'm still not buying the laxatives/sleeping pill story Either way I'm stealing it.
Jason Young
Read Crime and Punishment
Nathan Fisher
I only read the "This year I am twenty-seven" and knew what you were talking about.
Why did you leave out the part about walking into the sea with a QT?
Alexander Ortiz
...
Ryder Morris
Ah, well, he fooled me. All my comments are now directed at Osamu Dazai. Get your life in order you lazy bum!
James Sanchez
>d consists of people being jealous of a person 1. one user is envious 2. jealous would imply that user had the thatched cottage and was pissed off about squatters 3. he's meant to be a faggot 4. filial piety demands respect for his brother suffering that leech 5. you're so vapidly middle class it hurts
Christopher Russell
For fucks sake you guys this is the plot of No Longer Human
Asher Evans
The part about the grey hair is even a direct quote from the preface. This is how you can tell noone actually reads here
Carson Cox
No, it's from the final chapter. Would anybody have noticed that it was from No Longer Human if I hadn't added the final lines? Anyway, I'm still looking for books for this feeling.
Owen Cooper
>these guys haven't read the English translation of this book I like, clearly they're illiterate
Charles Baker
>can't OD on sleeping pills
What does that even mean?
Thomas Kelly
more Dasai or The Sea The Sea
Joseph Anderson
I think you dropped some words in your quote there, user. >OTC
Angel Williams
And if you're serious, I meant that in current day America, I highly doubt there are over the counter sleeping pills one could overdose on to commit suicide. You could fuck up your kidneys or liver maybe, but that would just be very slow and painful, no one would do this. The whole overdosing on sleeping pills is more about older hypnotics, sedatives and barbiturates. In the context of 1973 or whatever Japan, the idea that someone could go to a pharmacy to buy sleeping pills he could use to commit suicide makes sense. In modern day America, unless you have a prescription for something, you're out of luck and have to continue living.
Tyler Parker
Whatever, what does it mean?
Is this swapping pills nonsense in "no longer human"?
Luis Scott
Yeah, it makes. It's probably like this in Italy too. But the overdose by taking too much sleeping pills is kind of a cliche. Don't you think that somebody would fall for it in 2017, thinking that the pills will give him/her a peaceful death?
Carson Wood
>He hasn't even worked his way through the Japanese Canon yet
Only acceptable if you're still in highschool
Logan Rivera
I do think dumb kids might try that, but taking half a bottle of melatonin or a handful of regular Tylenols might is really just going to bring them to a rude awakening. In the best case scenario it will just make them sick, and in the worst case it will lead to organ failure without immediate death. If anyone tries to kill themselves with over the counter sleeping pills, they're either starving for attention or dumb - or if I'm kind, ignorant - as hell.
