RE: I Forgot I Loved to Read Until I Read An Essay That Feels Home

Is this so called slump the reason why you were considering reading Dorian Gray?

Well, I do get inspired by reading, but there's a lot of things that "do it" and I suspect this has to be the case for a lot of people.

Sometimes meeting someone is inspiration enough. I've recently become friends with this Dr. lady. She lives here in town. She came from very humble beginnings. Put herself through school with nothing but drive. Hand-copied the books she needed. Worked as a tutor for other students. Lived where she could (in the city) through her years in University and finally became a Doctor. Inspiring doesn't cut it.

Today, for example, my wife and I are going to go inspiration hunting. Taking our pups to a beach, letting them run about while we walk.

Hahahaha partly! It's quite a heavy read for a reading slump but you can never go wrong with classics. It heals my soul at least.

That Dr.lady is beyond inspiring. You know, that's a story I love to read and explore. I know someone with similar background and I've been trying to work catching some cool story about people. It's a WIP but hopefully I can get back on the road once it's sunny over here.

Going outside helps cause you know when you're fixated online, all you see is a shit show. Take care and be safe 😊
