it’s nice to feel a little stupid every once in awhile. that’s where the learning happens.

I'm often plagued by this nagging feeling that I need to learn stuff more than I need to just enjoy a story. This results in me slogging through tomes of not-so-practical knowledge about things or events that I just end up forgetting anyway. Some of them take months to get through and aren't even that enjoyable. The years when I read the most were ones in which I just let myself read more narrative-driven fiction.

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 :)

i usually find myself in reading ruts when i’m taking classes and being assigned books or when i’m trying to keep up with new releases and the “smart” books that are usually dense and long. i can usually get myself out of this rut by picking out a book that looks fun to me, like a book set on a beach or something I loved in middle school. I’m reading From The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler right now and it’s just FUN!!! I also am very much not someone who feels like they have to finish a book. Life is too short. I think that helps!

A very pretty word, and an action which has its moments in our daily lives. it doesn’t do you well to die on every hill.
