I'm listening on audiobook so it's extra comfy.
I really feel like I should have read more books this year and should be reading more now (as always) (I've only finished about 7 books this year) but I already feel overwhelmed by what's currently on a plate. I'm a NEET trying to start his life and am looking for work, the girl I'm talking to and who seems at least a bit interested in me is way more successful than me, I'm scrabbling for some success and the future I want and even though I'm only doing the bare minimum every day to keep moving forwards I still don't get enough time in to read. I'm not a slow reader either however I struggle with long books. Audiobooks don't help much either because I need to give them my nearly undivided attention. And I'm almost out of weed so sad feels. Yeah :/

Harry Potter sits as it does in my head which I'm fine with, and I don't want to disturb my childhood nostalgia by reading them again. And I can say I truly have grown out of them to point of being a tiny bit irritated when I come across someone (no-one I personally know) who still loves HP. It's old; the horse is pulverized and the cow is barren. There really are more, better books out there – better simply because of their newness to oneself.
>t. These are just my thoughts. Maybe I'm just jaded.
