aw man

Honestly, my advice would be to browse Stanford's philosophy encyclopedia and find any ideas that seem intriguing to you. Look at the authors of the ideas, and pick up some beginner secondary texts on them. Pay attention to footnotes and citations for expanding those areas; and look at the views contradictory to those you like and try to understand their arguments.

Best of luck!

Thanks lad
It's just that I feel so overwhelmed when I look at the sheer amount of literature I have to search for
But I guess that's just how it is

This is just Nietzsche being a little edgy. Plato is boring perhaps when you look back. Arithmetic seems boring as well now, but it was well worth my time learning it, and it wasn't boring back then.
