I Don't Understand How I Could Devour At Least Three Large Books In One Sitting When I Was In Fifth Grade

I don't understand how I could devour at least three large books in one sitting when I was in fifth grade but now I struggle to read just one page of any of my favourite books

Some Tropes I Like

Found family

Intimidating characters with a soft side

One person armies

Living weapons who don't see themselves as human

Healthy familial relationships

Masterminds

Came back wrong

Black cat x golden retriever

Characters having illegible handwriting that are understood only by a specific few

Insanely specific moral compasses

Supernatural hotspot towns

Background symbolism

I've been to a several temples in a lot of different states and let me tell you, the pictures are only a fragment of how awesome the actual architecture is

How lucky must be the stones which became the vessel of the stories of Gods... ferrying the tales through the river of time?

haters will see a winter enjoyer and say "why are you going outside it's cold and boring" and not even see the beauty in desolation and stillness 🙄

Yes I read books. Yes, I read fanfiction. No, I do not think that one is better than the other. No, not every book is a 'flawless masterpiece' and not every fanfic is 'poorly-written gay smut.' Yes, both have their pros and cons. No, not everyone has the same opinion or reading preference as you. Yes, it makes you a shitty person for forcing your opinion about which one is better on other people

not enough ppl talk about the multilingual issue of staring at a basic object as your brain cycles through wtf it’s supposed to be called in the language you’re using like an rpg protagonist scrolling through their inventory mid boss battle.
