Maybe it unlocks a secret passion in you. Maybe it clues in on your friend who raves about it but you just don’t get it. Maybe it’s just an exercise in endurance! I think regardless you learn something about yourself or the world or both. there is no such thing as a wasted moment if you don’t let it be :)

Sometimes I worry about becoming swallowed and bogged down by the mire of my past so I feel the need to be moving always forward - but I went on a hinge date with a guy last week who reminded me that you can read as many new books as you want but if you don’t take the time with some of them to really go in depth, to let them sink into you, you won’t really get a very full understanding of anything. I think that’s right.

reading is a habit of building and developing your empathy and critical thinking skills. you’re forced to sit with an idea for however long you are reading it and forced to contextualise it and comprehend it within your own life and perspective. You can’t just scroll away or pause or put it on 2x speed. you have to sit with it. it’s super underrated, but genuinely I’ve made this a habit for the last year and feel like a totally different person. also you come out of it having learned something new or seeing the world in a slightly new way. I literally do not see any downsides to reading. make reading cool again! also you don’t have to do it in one big block, you can space it out — 15 mins here, 45 there — whatever works for you!

Sometimes, if my cat really wants my attention, he‘ll grab my leg loosely and bite me, where it hurts for a bit but leaves no mark nor blood. It’s not quite fun- but I think it serves a meaningful place in life
