I really loved reading until i started middle school. And by the time i graduated i no longer found any enjoyment in reading.

I've tried so hard to enjoy it again as an adult because there's not that academic pressure, but now i even feel apathetic about reading stories I am interested in.

I used to want to write

I used to want to make games for people to play and enjoy

Now I just want to get by and i hate myself for it

Audiobooks helped me get back into reading. It’s a different medium, but I’m still getting the story.

And now I can enjoy a good story and fold laundry or do other chores at the same time.

I like audio books, but i have really bad retention when listening to them. I will just zone out and miss everything. :c
