I’m amazed at how revered Victorian literature is. I just finished Sense & Sensibility, and I found it to be incredibly vapid and boring. I’ve also read Great Expectations, which I thought was somewhat interesting but very dry. Next, I have to read Jane Eyre. I haven’t started it, but I’m dreading the thought of it. I guess I just have shitty taste in literature? I’ve been reading The Brothers Karamazov though, and I think it’s really engaging and fascinating. I think that maybe I’m making too large a generalization based upon reading two Victorian novels :d

As a kid I never really thought of myself as, ‘depressed’ as much as, ‘paralyzed by hope’.
