      Great question! I'm currently in Taiwan and The Buddenbrooks is sitting on my shelf in California, otherwise I'd love to tell you.

    Hey, new here. Are you religious or spiritual in anyway? Do you follow a certain philosophy or ideology?

      A Christian upbringing with a relatively good education in other religions and philosophies combined with plenty of drugs. I sorta find what works for me from the great men of the past and make my own reflections based on my experience.

      @@ryfree Interesting, I have 2 questions my friend. What's your opinion on self love and learning to love yourself, how does One do it? Also, What's your opinion on nofap and masturbation addiction? Have you also struggled with such things. Thank you.

      @@deletelater793 I've struggled with self love myself but what I've come to realize is that it's impossible to love the world when you don't love yourself. So how does one do it? Not through willpower. I think it's sort of like how one goes to the restroom or makes love, by letting go and letting our natural impulses flow. As for masturbation, you might be interested in a video I made on my own struggles with that issue.
