I don't think we're meant to be spending this much time with ourselves, indulging in as much reflection as the last year has forced upon us. The daily distraction of our normal lives allowed us to cherish the few moments we get to do something we love. But now, it somehow doesn't feel the same. Quite weird what this year has done to us collectively.
Very true. We probably wouldn't feel as burnt out if we had our usual dose of socialization and other distractions. Now that we've all been inside (more or less) for over a year, there's been way too much introspection to the point of increased anxiety and overthinking (for me at least). It's also so difficult to set and stick to work routines when there's no clear start or end to the day — every day just blurs into one.
I’ve been in a similar reading slump myself while either overworking myself to death or procrastinating everything as long as possible haha. Loving the newsletter! 👏🏻

Thank you, Krina!! I hope our reading slumps come to an end soon! 🤞🏼
I relate with Death too :')
Also, this line "It’s not the same if you watch Netflix when you’re not procrastinating something, you know?" was such a hard relate omg.
Hahaha, thanks for reading!
This article reminds me of we do keep so many things for tomorrow, but not knowing if we are alive for that tomorrow...
And so they rightly say, enjoy the present.
A great article. Although the first article, a great start with such a topic...
