      On a more happy note, I fell back in love with reading again. I forgot how much I actually enjoyed it. Rather than looking at the book and thinking about how much more I have to read, I’m enjoying the process of being in the moment and taking in what is being read.

      This is me too! I hadn't sat down and read a fiction book for pleasure in... months? Over a year, maybe? Now I'm rediscovering how nice it is to dive into a book and live in its world and with its characters.

          Oh, I definitely know that feeling of being hyper-aware of reading progress! For a while, I had to put a small strip of tape on the bottom part of my Kindle screen to cover up the progress bar for the books I was reading. I seemingly couldn't escape focusing on what percentage of the book I was at. It was constantly breaking me out of my "flow" state. The joy of reading for me is when I no longer realize I'm reading and instead the story is just sort of happening in my head. Unfortunately, that can be a hard state to get to, and it's easy to get jarred out of. Nevertheless, when it's right, it's right.

    Wrote about my TTRPG system for the first time in any coherent fashion. Most of my efforts have been keeping myself up from a major ongoing shift in sleeping schedule.
