📓 How I Fell Out of Reading (And Why I’m Coming Back)

Once upon a time books felt like magic. I’d carry one around everywhere like a talisman—tucked under my arm, pages slightly worn, a story waiting just a few sentences away. I used to lose hours in other worlds: castles made of mist, forest paths that whispered secrets, quiet cafes where characters fell in love over dog-eared poetry books. Reading wasn’t a hobby; it was home.

But somewhere along the way, I lost it.

It wasn’t one big thing, more like a slow unraveling. Life got loud. Deadlines replaced daydreams. My phone became a permanent fixture in my hand. I started books and never finished them. I stacked them like intentions on my nightstand, then felt guilty every time I glanced their way. The joy I once felt cracked under the pressure of trying to “keep up” with new releases, trendy recs, and never-ending TBR lists.

And honestly? I missed it. I missed me.

What’s bringing me back isn’t a resolution or a perfect reading challenge spreadsheet. It’s softer than that. It’s the sound of rain and the pull of a good story. It’s finding a dusty old book at a thrift store and remembering how it felt to be curious. It’s giving myself permission to read slowly, to reread old favorites, to stop chasing numbers and start chasing wonder again.

I’m coming back to reading the way you come back to a familiar cottage after being away too long—wiping off the cobwebs, lighting a candle, and sinking into the comfiest chair with something that makes your heart beat a little softer.

If you’ve fallen out of reading too, know this: stories wait for you. They always do.

[cookinary]

If I knew how to write properly, I'd write a furry YA novel where the main character is aroace, so if she somehow ends up in a love triangle she'd just go "Nope." and then go back to overthrowing the government

i know nobody but me cares but this is my blog and i'm just gonna rant for a sec;

i'm reading a fic (written by a USAmerican) which i'm enjoying the majority of immensely, but i got taken out of my immersion by their description of the (european) characters almost being late for a flight

an international flight to another continent that in europe you're advised to arrive at the airport for 3 hours before take off

genuine question, do usamericans not know this? i know they have internal flights that i guess you can just turn up whenever for, but in europe it's a whole thing to get to the airport and go through check in and security at least an hour before take off, and here in the UK we're told to do it 3 hours before so there's plenty of time in case of delays in security or whatever

if these characters hadn't left for the airport yet with less than an hour to catch their international flight, i'm fairly certain they might have been turned away as soon as they finally arrived at check in, 'cause half an hour is nowhere near enough time

okay, that's my 2 cents, back to reading and suspending my disbelief for this chapter
