Reading
-------

I've been reading a lot more lately. I actual
read two books this morning. One of which was a
rather silly little cozy mystery about a woman
running a diner in the south. The other was the
book Peter Darling which was a rather surreal
and fascinating sequel to Peter Pan.

I feel like I can't describe really anything
about the book without just spoiling it entirely
but I liked it. It was pretty short and a quick
read and strangely sweet.

Reading feels so different than browsing the
internet and I don't really know how to explain
why. It's like delving into one thing for longer
just feels completely different on your mind
than reading a hundred different opinions in a
couple minutes scrolling social media. I suppose
it's feeling like you're not skimming that's the
issue. When you're not skimming it feels like
your mind has room to chew on things, twist,
writhe, work out the knots it's worked itself
in.

When I'm having trouble thinking sometimes it
feels like I need something mindless to give
myself rest but that's not true. I think I
always need to be thinking about something I
just need different kinds of thinking. Some add
to your feeling of creativity and room to
mentally think, others take away from
it. Balancing both is what I think I need to do
better.
