This is going to be a cake-walk! A triumphant return to form!, a layered dessert, a type of traditional folk dance, a very easy task, I continue this futile charade for the duration of the week before conceding that I’m going to have to train to get back in shape., to give up or admit unwillingly, to argue convincingly, to accept a gift politely, What beats the prattle of a podcast to drown out one’s pesky internal monologue while providing the illusion of thoughtful engagement?, hard to notice at first, small but important, annoying or troublesome, I begin to notice my mind craving the serenity of the printed word., a peaceful natural landscape, a state of calm and peace, polite behavior in public, But there remains a lingering sense of achievement with every passing chapter – this doesn’t sit well with me., a faint memory or impression, a feeling that stays for a while, a strong but short-lived emotion, But there remains a lingering sense of achievement with every passing chapter – this doesn’t sit well with me., to match someone’s personal taste, to feel comfortable physically, to be acceptable or agreeable to someone, I have followed a long-form fictional narrative from beginning to end. I’ll call that a win., to consider something a success, even if small, to celebrate any positive outcome, to achieve a personal goal, I vaguely recall, from my well-spent youth, that a sweet spot between abject brain rot and toxic productivity does actually exist., to imagine something that didn’t happen, to remember something only slightly or unclearly, to misremember details, Reading or not reading both make me feel guilty – this is an absurd conundrum., a tricky situation requiring thought, a question with no clear answer, a confusing or difficult problem, Then came children, social media, the smartphone and – the final death blow to my once robust bibliophilia – the pandemic., strong, healthy, or reliable, able to withstand stress or pressure, durable but simple.
