If we can get back on track that’d be great
Anyone have any books that made your life more beautiful/taught you to appreciate life more? Maybe ones that completely changed your perspective on things?
There are many, three particularly important to me are The Stranger by Albert Camus, The Outsider by Colin Wilson and The Ego and Its Own by Max Stirner.

You can’t form your whole identity around being a parent, because they have their own identities and will disappoint you by not sticking by your side until you’re dead, and if you did your job, they prioritize their immediate families over you.

In buddhist and schopenhauerean culture, the mother is the most contemptible of creatures because she is the one that creates more life and, therefore, more suffering.

That’s my avatar because I’m making my transition to a woke transgender lesbian feminist. After the transition is complete, i won’t be gay and i will be gay at the same time as a result of a logical contradiction happening if otherwise.
