Mx. Luna Corbden 🐸I finished a book in one week!!
Can I be a book nerd again? Is it possible??
The other book I bought last week was the Night Vale novel. They had a used copy in great condition.
It's next!
Not being able to maintain a reading habit for a decade has been a huge blow to my sense of self. I made terms with it, but not satisfying terms. I still kept pushing and trying. Sometimes I'd finish a book but only through struggle, something I had to try, unsuccessfully, through intermittent brain fog or lack of desire.
All this week when watching YouTube, I've had this nagging sense I'd rather be doing something else, and it would take me hours to realize it was READING. I'd rather be reading.
It feels like a healing moment.
I'm still going to keep my expectations low. I'm sure I'll struggle again. But I've proven it's possible. This is my old self.
I'm back.
