Life & Reading
I've learned the hard way that I'm a very anxious person. If things start to go array, be it the smallest of things, it feels like its Game Over before I even hit play. I've also learned in my little over two decades on this earth that life has a way of helping you up only to smack you right down a few moments later. It's like being on Cloud 9 in one moment and wondering where you are and why it's all of a sudden so hot in the next moment.
With all that being said, reading can be a hard activity to focus on. I'll have great days/weeks (when my eyes are cooperating on not having an overreaction to microparticles in the air) where I'll read 3 books in a week (which is like speed reading for me) and I'll want to read all the books. Then there are those weeks in between when things get wonky in life and I don't feel like even looking at a book at any given moment of the day. It's more of an annoyance then an actual problem because I like blogging about what I read and writing reviews. Reading is a hobby I enjoy doing.
Does life ever get in the way of you and your books?
I'd love to hear from you in the comments below!
Life DEFINITELY gets in the way of reading sometimes! I'll go a good week or even longer without reading a book at times, and then other times I'll read a few back to back. That kinda happened to start this year off actually- for the first two weeks or so of 2019 I hardly picked up a book, just wasn't feeling it, and then bam I've been a reading machine the last few days lol.
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah anxiety and life stuff definitely has an impact, for sure!
If only life were more consistent! I had a great reading month in January but I don't want to even pick up a book :)
DeleteMy eyes are a problem for me too, so I totally understand your frustration. I hate when I am having time management issues due to my commute as well. There have been days where I was forced to drive to work and missed out on a good 2.5 - 3 hours of reading.
ReplyDeleteWhy must our bodies revolt!? Reading is a good hobby to have why did our eyes not get the memo? All that glorious reading time essentially wasted driving. I totally understand the frustration. Life happens all we can do is try and make peace with it I guess :)
