...and making peace with that. Been in the biggest reading slump because I wasn't vibing with The Idiot by Elif Batuman but desperately wanted to push through bc it got shortlisted for Pulitzer. 65% in, I just had to admit it wasn't for me and abandon it. Flying through books I've been wanting to read now and feeling so much better about myself :)

If it feels like a chore, I'm gonna put it down. Life's too short to read books that you aren't vibing with

Iām a girl who likes to finish what she started. Feels like a huge weight lifted off my shoulders and now I can warn my friends! I like to go straight to Goodreads. Canāt wait to not dread reading anymore!!!
The book was ābreakfast of championsā btw. Kurt Vonnegut, I love you, you know I love you but this was just Slaughterhouse Five but worse.

In the last few years, maybe around the writing of my own book, I've developed the yips when it comes to finishing things. Even books I love. I just feel the page stack getting thinner in my right hand and then something comes over me and I start something else and another one gets added to this growing pile next to my bed, 60-80 percent creased. But there's something comforting about them all sitting there (and more on my ebook apps), because I really do feel like I'll get to them, and in the meantime, I can sample more widely while still scrolling on my phone for seven hours a day. (The end of Rap Capital is good, though.)

Itās exactly what it sounds like - an art gallery inside a u-haul truck. But if you really think about it, itās also a cool statement about commodification of space in the city thatās stifling creativity and art.
