Usually, I stick to my reading routine, but after this essay, I am thinking... might it be time to get ambitious and challenge myself to see how many minutes I can read a book in and in what situations? An experiment to see just how much and where I can accommodate a book? I can even name the endeavour—something like 'Free and Breathin'? How About Readin'?' (no, definitely not this)
no what happened was we tried to go to L'Appartement 4F for an afternoon pastry and so i could read there, but they had closed early for family meal and i had no choice but to go to the blank street a block away.. i was running out of time
This is why I always like to have a purse that fits a book, because you never know when you'll have a spare minute to read, and it makes me feel so much better to pull out a book than my phone!
YES this is so true. My dopamine seeking brain does not want to commit to books anymore, yet i can spend hours reading posts and watching reels on the internet. I remember the days when I would carry a book everywhere, and how it was something people associated with me for years until after college. The academic burnout was definitely real, but this post has inpired me to practice my original pastime.

seriously though! i think reading becomes less fun when it's a "to-do" or part of a routine, but you can literally read... whenever you want...
speed reading is wild LOL
also laughed out loud at blank street coffee with evil energy because of course, i’d be shocked to find a blank street w good vibes
