firebonesyou know, the classic 'no, i dont want an e-reader because i love how the books smell, and their touch!'. it was debunked for me when i went out of my city, with my family, on a summer vacation, and only brought with me one book. i thought it would last the two weeks i would be far from home. clearly, i didn't measure it correctly because i read that book in almost three days. and had the whole collection back home. that was the moment when i thought maybe getting a kindle or an e-reader could be a good option
then, life happened, the biggest SLUMP ever on my life happened too, and i stoped reading. yea. like that.
it wasn't until 2019 that i grabbed a book and FINISHED IT. it was the good old dark academia classic 'The Secret History' from Donna Tartt. also, binge watching A Series of Unfortunate Events series from Netflix helped to enter into the mood of grabbing a goddamn book after all that time. my mother gifted me a kindle paperwhite (10th) with a great joke and a reprise of a terrible prank she made to me when i was a child. holyshit mom, you'll never change (affectionate)
since 2019 i used it... more or less. past year i saw how some booktok people decorate with clear cases, stickers and pop sockets their kindles and decided that could be an interesting option? i weren't on my best mood past year (i'm still a little meh, but recovering) and choose some aesthetic stickers i had laying around. even generic, those were the less... generic. yea. but at the time, they was the best options, lmao.
during this terrible artblock/burnout that is lasting the last weeks, im trying to read more and do other stuff to recharge myself creatively (i shouldnt be writing or drawing to not burn myself even more). i've been reading more thant the last year, and had a burst of inspiration to change the background and use other stickers i had around that... represent myself a little more, heh
good thing that im in spain and people dont have on their english vocabulary the word 'smut' as 'ok you're reading p-' because it would be funny to read on the subway. i wouldn't care, maybe if im reading on the office restroom, but just there.
im still a little affected but it seems that im less lost on what represents me, what defines me, what makes me feel myself.
wish this could heal as soon as possible.
