it was a week of acquiring a bunch of stuff
• a new pair of sneakers (adidas' collab with filipino artist Yeo Kaa)
• a secondhand hardback copy of Donna Tartt's The Little Friend (which I got for only P270/~$5)
• a copy of Osamu Dazai's No Longer Human
• C2 Arlecchino! (i saved up for so many months and skipped so many new characters just to get her, if you play Genshin, you know the pain)
reading books shouldn't be about productivity, it should be about experience
it doesn't care how many books you have read if you cannot tell me in detail and with all your love and passion how absolutely wonderful or how absolutely awful it was to turn every single page
I know how it feels to suck. Your bed is not made, you are eating two days old fast food leftovers, you haven't moved your body for fun in weeks or years, you don't open a book to read or study unless you have no option, if you have a instrument it's probably rotting in the loft. I understand. I have been there and when you reflect on it, it sucks. We suck sometimes and it's not fine but it's normal. The thing with adulting is that you exactly get to decide where your life should go to wherever you may be led. So starting with a ten minute walk everyday is better than a four hour gym session once a week, reading a page a day is better than scrolling on instagram, drinking a smoothie is better than the chocolate milkshake. Life is too short to keep cutting out the good things. We can focus on adding on and swapping out while learning to live and love. We can binge on the good things and be better than the rest. It's true although, that sometimes we might suck.
