Oh my, thank you! Thank you!
You literally took the words out of my mouth.
Reading is one habit i never want to lose ever. There's not ao much that piques my interest, so i assume that you undersramd my frustration.

This is sound, and I hear you loud and clear.
I'm taking Americanah in small steps, and I'm hopeful that I wouldn't dump it. It feels so good to be back to reading, although it's only just a few pages a day. Im confident that I'll be fine in little time.
Life is opening up more. there's more that i have to be responsible for, so i get it.
Maybe i just have to find a balance first.
Regardless, i wouldn't repeat the mistake of taking a break from my books.. I'd rather take it slow(if need be).

I'm definitely making a screenshot of this comment so I can always go back to it.
Thank you so much. This is helpful!😊😊
