This is a wonderful post. I'm glad you rekindled your love for reading. I also have a literary snob in me that I'm learning to quiet down, learning that sometimes books can be simply enjoyed and not picked apart. Thanks for sharing this.

This post finds me right when my inner critic hails and I don't know what to do. It is my reminder to go back to the wonder that is On this earth we are briefly gorgeous. Thank you for the reminder. It was a pleasure reading your candid thoughts.

A moving post. I'm not sure if I'm a highly sensitive reader, but I certainly try not to overconsume.

I popped over from the WAW cohort thread. I love that mantra and how you've adopted it for your own writing: "I am writing because it’s late." I've started Vuong's book and the writing is very beautiful. Great post!
