I'm 33 years old.
I was in a gifted program in school. In AP Literature, I laughed because I thought our treatment of novels was like a 3/10 at best.
Now I'm in the real world and I realize that everyone else doesn't even think about novels.
So it's up to me to understand everything to its fullest? While I have a job?
What happened?

What the fuck do you want us to say? Or more accurately, what do you want to hear? That you're above everyone else because of your dedication to literature, or that you completely waste your time in doing things that are irrelevant to virtually everyone else in the entire world?
If you want to know what happened, it's that you wasted your life doing something that you never really cared about, while you left what you cared about to become overgrown and forgotten, eschewed in favor of cultivating what you were told was important in life.

I don't know.
>That you're above everyone else
Uh no

Don't agree, at least I get that money.
I just don't like that... the arts, aren't a part of the regular "path" of life at all. You have to strike your own way. Isn't that a bad thing?

Fuck your job. You've only got 47 years left to live and you've got a lot of catching up to do.

Nabokov is all that has caught my interest, though. I still think the great gatsby is shit. However I'm very upset that my gifted program never introduced me to the butterflyman.
