What about always trying to find the most beautiful book cover and always remaining unsatisfied no matter which one you choose? How do I overcome that?

you must create your own

or write a monography that corrects the misinterpretations behind existing covers.

it's not an illegitimate feel, better than self-denial. it would be excess aestheticism if you began accepting ugliness in the name of some theory.

It may not be illegitimate, but it ultimately leaves one always unsatisfied.

How do I get out of a sensualist lifestyle?
I recently quit smoking weed and got off my adderall script (one month clean tomorrow). I felt both to be psychologically damaging in the long term. Since then I went off the rails a little bit - eating alot of bad food (or maybe just conscious about the bad eating habits I've developed over the years, despite this I've barely gained any weight). I've also been playing alot of video games and drinking more than I previously did (but not compulsively). It's rough. I'm tired all the time and not sleeping well. It's slowly getting better though. I ran a few times last week, and planned on running today but I'm just so tired I'm not sure if i can.
I quit because I want to write screenplays. But since I quit I haven't read or watched any movies because I know they'd put me to sleep before I could get through them and I haven't read because I know I'll only get 3 pages in before I pass out. This has made me very sad.
I feel as though I just replaced two big bad habits with multiple, smaller bad habits. I'm trying to break those too but it's hard, I feel exhausted and tired all the time. Caffeine helps but I'm trying to watch that, don't need to worry about a caffeine addiction too.
Off adderall I don't feel like I have the mental capacity required for critical thinking. I don't even think I felt I had that capacity on it, or at least if I had that when I first started taking it I lost it. How do I move past this?
