Another year has passed. And I am still reading. Perhaps not as much as I was, but quite a bit.

There are times it feels like I do nothing but read. Others I crave something that’ll challenge my mind.

Am I wasting my time? Possibly.

One thing I learn from journaling/blogging is that in spite of whatever honorable intentions I may have, change is hard.

Why should I ever want to be uncomfortable? I have my heating pad and my chocolate pudding and my crushed Oreos and my gummi worms and...

Everything I could ever... want. Right?

If I really “wanted” something, why is it nearly impossible to convince myself to take any steps to go get it?

So, I read. About others. And I’ll read more.
