Had to have an hour conversation with my therapist because the urge to help other people has me questioning the value of my work. Guess I will go sit in my library and think about it while it rains.
Looks like you could use some book ends so everything doesn’t slump over when you take a book. There’s lots of fun and creative ones.
Unless you like the tilted book aesthetic in which case carry on
Well its 2 middle aged lifetimes of collecting and my partner and I are both avid readers. Sadly its a mess right now as the kids have been using every flat space in the house for some type of construction, but I still like to sit there and read or watch/listen to the 3d printer. I also could really use a librarian who can organize it because im the wrong person for that.
Oh, giving away labour, actual effective labour that measurably helps someone, yet after so long only the receivers benefit in life from it (no duh), its super demoralising on a personal level & can def be a considerable factor in the depression feedback loop.

I like it like this, looks very cosy!
It looks like you’re doing fine mate, congratulations.
You have a cooler library than me, I’ll get there one day… when I have the money to buy the books I want

I suggest pulling Marcus Aurelius out of that Great Books collection there.
I would but its my grandfathers collection of reference books and I want to try to keep as much of that history for my children as possible.
