Lmao, yes but I stopped reading entirely. Just. Completely. I used to be one of those people who would keep multiple books going at once and it could almost be concerning.

But then I met my ex and it just wasn't as interesting as reality was. I don't believe we ever even formally asked each other out, we just wordlessly started dating. And for me, I could waste my time with dragons and undead and unknowable horrors, or I could go to Walmart with them. It didn't measure up. It never would again.

That was 12 years ago. I'm trying to get back into it and I've had some success with the right authors but it's incredibly hit or miss and I never lose all sense of myself like I used to when I read.

For you, I think that your viewpoint has just changed. Things are brighter, and it's not surprising to want something brighter to match. I hope things work out well for you <3
