The philosopher Bernard Stiegler was in prison for armed robbery, and writes about how he got interested in philosophy in prison in "acting out". Malcolm x's autobiography is similar, and a great read

Hello? What did he say?

>>9235158
Eh, just start over. What else are you doing.

I haven't been able to ask yet. He keeps talking about about how nerve cord patterns in ancient mollusks are empirical proof of extraterrestrials. He's a retard.
I'll ask him again, he always has a good list for this.

I can't really go to high school again.

>>9235250

You don't have to take every book you read literally. Not every book is a how to-manual either.

Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson

You literally have almost your entire life ahead of you.

Also, what you assume is doing your life 'right' is probably not, and may even be the opposite of that. I just graduated from a school so good that no one would believe me if I said what it was and I've decided to essentially throw it all away by moving to a frigid city in far-northern China to teach English and study languages. I have a bizarre conviction that lowering my standard of living and isolating myself from intelligible reality will be some sort of penance for a certain moral terror that keeps afflicting me. The other part is that I couldn't deal with the banality of the 'good' life for which I set myself up and now I'm doing something insane. It can happen to you too. Just be reflective and you will find answers of some kind.

And this occurred after I scored perfect grades on almost everything for my entire life, had many friends, etc. At one point I snapped and became a retard. Every day is an opportunity for your life to either crash or be saved and you have little control over which of the two you get. Just try to live well, as best you can.

No, but if you want a read about someone doing fairly well until about 22, then completely fucking everything up the next few years to the point of homelessness/brief incarceration, then turning it all around again about 4 years later . . .

my diary, desu.
