What I Wish I Could Do More Of..

Daily writing prompt
What do you wish you could do more every day?

Is it too easy an answer to say read???

Honestly, I have an utterly RIDICULOUS tbr that just seems to keep growing! Every time I think I’ve made a dent in my reading list, I discover new releases or hidden gems that catch my eye, prompting me to add even more titles to the pile. It feels overwhelming at times, but there’s something exhilarating about the prospect of so many stories waiting to be explored. My tbr has become a dazzling mix of diverse genres and authors that I can’t wait to dive into, even if it means my reading progress often feels like an uphill battle!

Life recently has been, for a better word, busy! We’re moving house soon, so in between preparing the new house, working full time, and attempting to keep my current house clean, it’s been a bit of a slog.

I used to be able to read for literal HOURS, losing myself in captivating stories and exploring new worlds, but now I feel guilty for managing even an hour of reading time amidst all the chaos 😅. It’s as if the simple pleasures have taken a backseat to the pressures of everyday life, leaving me yearning for those quiet moments with a book in hand, where I can escape and unwind after a long day.

That being said, I just know the new house is going to be amazing! Once it’s fully decorated and carpeted, it will feel like a true sanctuary. I can’t help but imagine how peaceful it will be to unwind there. Maybe life will slow down just enough to read for hours again, allowing me to escape into the worlds of my favorite books, rediscovering the joy of getting lost in stories without the usual distractions of everyday life.
