Touch Grass

Posted in: 2022 posts | I Need to Talk About My Dreams | Life: Anecdotes | Reading | Weekend Musings

Ah, Saturday. 

A day I've made a few realisations.
Oh rather, a day I made the effort to put those realisations in a post.

First realisation: I need to get out and touch grass. 
I guess this is very obvious lol. I still don't feel safe going out but I'll try... like go to places that not too crowded. I know it's unavoidable (since one of the places I want to go are bookstores *sigh*) but that will be my guide.

Second realisation: Sometimes, I don't care about the descriptions. 
I don't know if I've always been this way or it's something recent but I realise I don't really care when stuff are being described in books. Like when a place is being described, all the details just go past me. Of course, when it matters, I will take notice of details but now all I can say is I don't care! Realised this when I started reading "Piranesi" so I kind of had a slow beginning. I haven't finished it yet but I've reached a place where it got more interesting... hope to finish it by tomorrow.

Also, this realisation makes me think if I'll be having a hard time reading certain fantasy and science fiction books because I'm pretty sure they are details-heavy. Haaah... I don't know....

Third realisation: I uninstalled some updates.
This is like a continuation to yesterday's post. Might or might not be related, since I did some Windows update recently when the computer started lagging, I decided to uninstall some of the updates. Still waiting to see if that helps or not.

Fourth realisation: Not really playing games.
Again, related to yesterday's post. Steam kept making this computer lag when I open it so I might not be able to play those games as I expect to be. This is so annoying. 

Fifth & last realisation: Side-eying books.
Even I'm surprised by this lol. I'm still window-shopping books on Shopee but for some reason I'm like "Urggh, this again" whenever I do it. Sounds like I finally had enough regarding book-shopping? This is mostly for new and/or unfamiliar books though so maybe my guards are up now... might be related to reading manga again. 

I've been reading them on the side since that post (I need this manga-filled reading break), so I'm recalling again how I hate certain writing styles in books which made me "ditch" physical books for manga and otome games in the past. I'm trying to balance reading them now so that I won't favour one over the others. I guess one of the side effects is being "distrusting" again regarding new/popular books and recommendations of such books.

⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰

No details but I think I dreamt a few epic(?) & dramatic dreams last night. It felt exhausting and familiar at the same time. I actually had to think if it's real or not after waking up because my memories seem to get mixed up with those dreams.
