Late start.. but here I am. In 2024 I read 133 books, I think I will read just as many. However to not pressure myself to not review and or create reels for every book may help.
Insight - 2025 has everything and nothing going on. It was the year I bought books but very rarely read anything. Itâs wasnât burn out looking back but protection. Looking back I realize now that all the things I enjoyed (language learning, reading, general hobby building) stopped not because of the stress - but because the stress was present. Simply put I wouldnât let what I enjoyed get âtaintedâ by what was going on. Itâs like pushing your best friends away because you know youâre toxic.
Only recently has understanding become evident. An opening, opportunities of enjoyment. doesnât look like what most people think. The road to better is ugly, hurtful, light and penetrating. The road to better means eating butter bread sandwiches, while everyone around you eats steak. Whether thatâs emotional, financial, or physical or spiritual. Sometimes all@the above.
Anyways⌠I apologize to everyone who dealt with my absence in 2025. I made a great many online friends here. No excuses from me life be lifinâ but for those who stuck around and sent random messages and accepted my sporadic replies.. yaâll are rockstars â¤ď¸â¤ď¸â¤ď¸â¤ď¸â¤ď¸â¤ď¸â¤ď¸â¤ď¸
