up until about a week ago i haven’t read a fiction book in who knows how long. i mostly read non-fiction/self-help books because i thought they would make me a well-rounded person. i started viewing life from an objective perspective, and while i do feel as if i’ve made some strides in that direction. i might have taken a step or two back in other aspects of my life.

one thing that has been on my mind while i’m reading, is the lack of awareness i have of my surroundings. i realise that though it may not be healthy to over-romanticise my life and things going on around me. i still feel a lack of awareness towards those things. i may have even taken them for granted.

today i want to focus more on what is going on around me and make note of things that i find interesting/beautiful/serene. maybe you should try that too. thank you for reading,
