Why do we read?
So that we can live vicariously through others’ life and lived experiences. Period.
And I have been an avid reader since the age of five.
Over the past couple of months, I have noticed my inability to concentrate on and complete longer pieces unless they are very exciting or fast-paced.
Like I do with everything else, I analysed this thoroughly in my journal. And one of the probable causes that came was scary.
Sharing it with you here.
Since I started sending daily emails in September 2023, my mind is constantly occupied with generating short snappy ideas as well as sentences.
Is that new habit to blame why I get all glossy eyed and foggy brained the moment I encounter long complex sentences?
Because my brain is looking for something easier and bite-sized?
I don’t know but I hope not.
What do you think? Are our reading and writing habits related?
