I Just Want To Read More BOOKS
What I am Reading Currently + Near Future Reads
Medium, I love you, but you spoil me with constant short reads. One second, I am reading someone’s inspirational life story, and the next, I am reading about a fairy’s favorite color.
You are kind of the reason that reading anything else at all became harder. I spend my days reading all your various articles. By the end of the day, I don’t always feel like opening up a book after closing my laptop.
Why can’t all books have short chapters? It at least somewhat helps to keep my attention the way you do.
I can’t just blame you though. Social media and its endless entertainment don’t do me any favors either. I had to delete TikTok, because it practically killed what little attention span I had. Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube aren’t always that much better.
Then, there’s just me to blame too. I am easily distracted. My anxiety is so bad these days that I can barely hold a thought. I am so scatter brained. I make myself believe that I have to do something RIGHT THEN, or I will forget it all entirely.
Mix in external distractions like pets or people, and it’s almost impossible for me to read and retain a single sentence.
