>biggest accomplishment
Graduate school probably, but the one I'm most proud of is finding a woman who appreciates me for who I am
>biggest regret
Not realizing my friend was being molested by her stepfather before she took her life.
>what you're going to do with the rest of your life
With any luck, have a family and get a job at a university.

>The Fall
>Going to uni and studying what I'm interested in.
>Not socializing with anyone through out high school other than a few people over messaging. I think the lack of social skills development will haunt me for a long time.
>Going to get my degree, work here for a number of years, get a work visa and move to the UK to experience living in that place as I've always been interested in it. Eventually try and find a way to work as little as possible yet lead a comfy lifestyle.

Wish I could recommend books to people but I've read so few.

Aren't good at moving on and frequently recall the past. Frequently compare yourself to others with usually discomforting conclusions.

>Favorite book
Since the Bible is probably cheating, and the Rule of St Benedict is more of a manual, I'd probably go with Le petit prince, unless I can go with poems, in which case it's either la Chanson de Roland or Beowulf.

>Biggest accomplishment
Picking up two languages conversationally between the ages of 17 and 21 with basically no time spent studying. Working on learning my fourth (so my third foreign) language now.

>Biggest regret
I want to say trying to stay with the woman who cheated on me, but I've got to go with "not going to church earlier." Had I done that, I'd probably have been less of a cunt, less confused for parts of my life, and I'd have had a community with money to have helped my family avoid homelessness.

>What I'm going to do
Ideally, get a Master's and maybe a PhD in French, then go to seminary and get ordained as a priest. My denomination has a priest shortage, especially of good ones, but not every church can afford a priest, so I'd be bivocational if need be.

>favorite book

>Biggest accomplishment
beating a 5 year long fapping addiction and the depression that came after it
>Biggest regret
letting my toxic parents destroy me as a person, although that did make me turn to books, so......
>What you're going to do with the rest of your life
Use my decently paying job to fuel my relatively cheap hobbies, finish my bucket list, learn as much as I can, find a gf and make a kid, and visit every continent before settling down in a unabomber cabin until I die. That's the current plan.

I'd also say my biggest accomplishments and regrets was the time I spent on Yea Forums, /r9k/ and especially /pol/. They just made me an angry coomer. It's sad how much time I spent I time I spent on them, but I left em. Aside from Yea Forums, theres no board I regularly visit, and they're all blue boards

So many people ITT not playing it properly. The coolest bit of it is making guesses about and recommends for your fellow Anonymous.

>Favorite book
Moby-Dick, but considering that is everyone on Yea Forumss favorite book, I'll add I like Kafka and Faulkner
>Biggest accomplishment
winning 3 state championships as a high school athlete. (not that proud of it anymore but at the time I was super proud)
>Biggest regret
Where I chose to go to college, I went for athletics and it blew up in my face, then I stuck around in a place I didn't wholly like
>What you're going to do with the rest of your life
Had cancer surgery a month ago and I'm recovering with family now. Just graduated college in December and I need to get a job. Thinking about lots of stupid things I could do with my future (law school, military, advertising) but really haven't gotten too far with anything, they're just ideas I'm weighing atm

Fucksake.

You can have “fuckcicle” if you like.

Mine:Hearts mend, try to move on physically, change your environment, I am a melodramatic in love like you, we get burned eventually, no matter what

I recommend The Third Policeman by Brian O'Nolan

What's your business?

Have you read much Chekhov? "In the Ravine" "The Kiss" and "Ward No. 6" are great stories by him.

A good family is a blessing. I'm the youngest in a big family and my older siblings have saved my life

I recommend reading For Whom the Bell Tolls, having read Hemingway's 4 big novels and a lot of his short stories. Sun is a great little novel.

Keep reading Nietzsche and you'll be alright user

Read Dead Souls, I'm sure you'll see a bit of Dostoevsky in it

Read Billy Budd fellow Moby-Dick lover

>trying to stay with the woman who cheated on me
I'm embarrassed to say I'm in that situation right now. Happened more than a year and a half ago while we were long distance. She immediately broke up with me without telling me the truth, we got back together later (after me pursuing her again despite her discouraging me from doing so) and she then told me. I'm finding it impossible to forget even though she was very regretful and I no longer bring it up anymore. Sucks majorly inside.

The Stranger
>biggest accomplishment
I'm approaching two years in my first real job, and I have managed to move up the ladder here substantially since I started despite having no real-world experience in any professional field and a constant struggle with depression and melancholy.
>rest of my life
I have no idea, honestly. My plan was to work this job until I turn 21 and then find something else to do. Maybe armed security, or bouncing, or bartending or some such thing. Now that I am nearly 21, none of my options seem tempting.

>favorite book
Ulysses
>biggest accomplishment
I guess the time I published an article in a nationwide journal. That wasn't very personally significant though. So it's hard to say.
>biggest regret
Being born. Or for a slightly less edgy answer: not reading enough classic stuff as a child.
>what you're going to do with the rest of your life
The plan is to do a PhD, assuming depression doesn't get in the way. I would ultimately like to end up as a professor at a comfy liberal arts college somewhere. Maybe publish a book at some point that people continue to cite every now and then after I am dead. But mostly I am trying to survive.

I doubt mine will as it’s gone on so long now, it feels as though it’s in my very bones. But thank you.

> The Third Policeman
This actually looks very interesting. I recall reading something by this guy years ago and liking it, so added to my Amazon orders, thank you.

I’m very sorry to hear about your cancer diagnosis, Anonymous, but I’m very glad to hear your treatment was successful. My sister went through a cancer battle a few years ago and while she’s now in full remission, the terror she went through and the bravery she had to show in the face of it was truly humbling. You have my utmost respect.

My guess about you: you are a deeply thoughtful person, with a rich interior life. Many who know you probably think of you as quietly confident and amiable but they often miss that you are fundamentally driven by great ambition and once you set your mind on something you will ensure you make it yours totally. I predict you will live a truly accomplished life, and likely one filled with much self-satisfaction and happiness.

My recommendation: ‘The Life and Times of Michael K’ by J M Coetzee.

I dont know. Lose some pounds and finally get a job (and hope that these two things will have a positive impact in my life)

ur doing it rong. this thread is not just about you. contribute.

Ok, I will try.

Literally a machine. In both, the good and the bad way.

Sounds like a guy I would like to hang out with because you seem very pessimistic but like a chill guy.

Your living the life of a normie (which is not meant as an insult), besides the cancer thing. Hope youre doing well, user.

Edgy redditor.

Extremly based. We need more priests on Yea Forums

Like the other user you seem to be very normieesque.

>Favourite book

>What you're going to do with the rest of your life
I would like to have a family one day, but I don't think I'll live that long.

Why have you walked away? My guess is that you are a very family-oriented person and that your idea of love might be a little too old fashioned (not that it's a bad thing).
Recommendation: Half a Lifelong Romance by Eileen Chang
I hope you'll succeed. Your goals are very beautiful. My guess is that you are similar to the user whom I have previously quoted, but you might value having a family with children more than just having a wife.
I'm sorry, but I don't know what to recommend you.
Congratulations on your short story! I am not good with words so I don't really know what to say. Don't kill youself. You could write a good short story, why stop there?

Good lad.

> Half a Lifelong Romance by Eileen Chang
I feel this may really resonate with me. Added to my Amazon purchase list. Thank you, Anonymous.

In return -

My guess: you love animals and are not afraid to show your emotions with people you love. Those who know you think of you as kind, understanding, and compassionate but they miss how lonely you often feel. I predict a great love story in your future.

My recommendation: ‘The Unbearable Lightness of Being’ by Milan Kundera.

You’re smarter than you even give yourself credit for. You’re a true survivor, and have little time for fools. You’re going to prove to be a very inspirational person and someone others will want to follow. Someone thinks about you more than you know. Let go a little.

My recommendation: ‘Pan’ by Knut Hamsun.

>What you’re doing for the rest of your life
Gonna work in national parks, maybe become a guide for hikers or something a long those lines. Marry a French women, have a lot of kids. Live far away from the city, a more rural lifestyle ideally.

So many people posting and STILL not paying attention to the OP. This is why otherwise based threads turn to shit and die.

But I am the main character, you lot are the other anons

Because it’s too tedious to write so many recommendation it’s op’s fault really. No offense op

Thanks for the support, supporting character
I'd suggest you follow the OP and get recommending

Moby Dick is my favourite book
My biggest accomplishment was either my first class degree or overcoming intense sadness through increase of knowledge and understanding for the beauty of reality to become one of the happiest people I know
I have no true regrets as reality could not have happened any other way but if I could go back as the person I am now I would try much harder with my high school gf and try to stay with her permanently.
I’m going to do a postgrad in medicine, become a doctor, marry a woman I find attractive but do not love, father and raise several children (at least 2, definitely no more than 4, preferably 3 with two boys and one girl), grow old with my wife who I have come to love as the mother of my children.

With your great natural intelligence, you venture out in search of meaning. On the surface, you are stoic, yet deep down you're afraid because you haven't found the meaning you are looking for. Your reason has taken you into dark, unfamiliar places and you are lost. You look down on the religious but you are secretly envious of their happiness. For you, I'd recommend The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath.

I didn’t even say that you retarded faggot I gave you and answer to the reason why the thread is shit nothing more

You are avoidant about pretty much anything. Inside you, great passions stir but you refuse to acknowledge them. A woman is going to come into your life and show you what you’re worth.

Your upbringing has put great pressures on you. One of your parents refuses to see just how strong you are. The greatest life lesson you have to learn is that you are already perfect, inalienably capable, and can do anything you put your mind to. You should spent time on your own in art galleries.

For you: ‘Walden’ by Henry David Thoreau.
