Absolutely! It’s my escapism from the real world. Also, it’s like my trauma response to talking to myself because apparently because I feel like I’m the only person I can trust with a conversation because if I have a conversation they can use my words as ammunition or in another situation I was hurt and I had to comfort and soothe myself because no one else could.
I used to view books as gateways to another world
Since depression flared everything up, I can't even read them anymore
Totally! When I couldn't see my friends, my books and my dog were the things that got me through quarantine.
A few recommendations: Beak of the Finch, The Dog Who Came in From the Cold, Chore Whore (dw it's a witty pro-fem story ;D ), The Line of Beauty, and The Last Crusader.
What are y'all reading right now? I'm halfway through The Last Cruasader.
Yes books have became my Bestie this year. I’ve always hated reading but now I really enjoy it (audiobooks). I’ve learned so much since I’ve been reading and my mind has been on all kinds of adventures. I’m about to have a cup of decaf coffee and enjoy a god read now! 😋

I love to but sometimes it can be a distraction too. You need to find a balance thats all and also not live by the quotes.
Escape into someone else's reality for a while. Love it.
