In my twenties, I became overwhelmed with a terrible fear: ‘Oh, shit! I'm going to die one day! I simply do not have enough time to engage with any piece of media more than once!’

📚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.

😃I’m re-reading so many books recently. Ocean Vuong, Patti Smith, Hanya Yanagihara, and the likes. I think it is okay to re-read books because I have a new perspective each time, but I want to know a general opinion about this? Is it productive to re-read a book many times or should I cherish my initial opinion?
