How is your /litfit/ life? >be me, 28yo, no gf, doing a shitty

>>33474
After you've reached your aesthetic and intellectual goals perhaps you should think about expanding your social circle with a new hobby.

people generally just want to be left alone at both the library and gym. if you want a qt gf, fpbp

>be me, 23yo, no gf, two minwage jobs.
>run, squash, rockclimb - all x2 a week
>spend too much time on memes.
>I read over 50 books last year, only read 3 this year. I'm in decline.

>>33601
Although, I should add. I'm really fucking happy.
I just wish I could do less memes and more reading and writing. I have a solid circle of friends and acquaintances.

My recommend to OP: Read Epicurus, and go join a writers circle, or volunteer, or some group meet-up to find new people and enjoy their company.

Not bad desu. My new job will cut into my reading time since I'll need to draw and paint more to maintain my creative outlet while I'm working in the management development program for the next 2 years. I need to keep working out in case I see the ex.

>Sleep schedule needs work
Can't get it to 6 hours I assume?

>>33648
Yeah I either go out on weekends and totally fuck it up or I just wind up staying up till 3am for no fucking reason. In all other areas of my life I am strictly disciplined, except this one thing that makes me feel like shit several times a week.

What exactly do you want to do with your life as a job anyway?

>>33683
Very low level proces engineering. Only got into it because I'm broke as fuck and they guarantee a well-paying job (for my broke as fuck standards, it's like 2.5k a month by the time I'm 19).

I originally wanted to do something related to politics but I've got a gut feeling my parents will be sick of my shit soon and I wouldn't be able to support myself in college.

>>33678
Are you a woman?

>>33700
No, there are no women in proces engineering

>>33678
Go take up workshops where you might find hobbies and people of interest from computer graphics editing to maybe even just learning basic music. If you want an easier way to learn reading fiction, go watch a movie, then read the novelization of said movie. Afterwards, any book would probably be easier to visualize for you.

>>33474
I would consider looking for another job with less hours. If you cannot work less due to circumstances, I feel ya. But I would direct time away from the solo /fitlit/ and towards the social /fitlit/ with a book club or something like that.

>>33752
Or get into spiritual stuff.

get out of that job - either move to like barcelona and get a job in a bar for a year, or teach urself to code and send 5 resumes every weekend

if you lack 'energy' to do any of that try microdosing lsd or some nootropics - microdosing works really well for me

>>33579
It shouldn't be, but there is a baseline you could reach I guess. Once you hit that baseline, if you are truly a /fitlit/izen, you'll keep going.

>>33799
Why barcelona?

>read 300 books a year
>play football once a week
UUUHHHHHH

Strained my back deadlifting. Pushed a bit too far and my form failed on my last rep. Nothing serious, luckily, but still an annoyance. Pisses me off to no ends though. I should've taken it easier and gone slow, but there's always that "lets see if I can push the limit" -feeling nagging at the back of your head. So now I will miss god knows how many gym days and have to go backwards god knows how many kilos on weights before it's ok to try again. FUCK!

>>33678

STOP reading introductions and secondary materials and start reading the Canon by themselves. Believe you me, you would be much better off to refer back to secondary sources when you can't figure something out rather than getting the material second hand through them

>>34298
I don't think it's worth the pain to read through old, translated classics.
