In this vlog I’m doing my favorite kind of “get me out of this slump” reset: library books + a cozy craft + tiny little life things that make my brain stop being dramatic. I start by setting a super realistic mini TBR (because if I aim too big, I will simply… not read), then I jump into my first pick, Lord of the Butterflies, and give you my early thoughts and reading check-ins as I go. I also pick up I Who Have Never Known Men for a very different vibe, because sometimes the slump cure is just switching the flavor completely. Between reading updates, I’m crocheting (pot holder era, apparently), taking a little walk, and doing some reading journal setup—basically building momentum in the least intimidating way possible. My big takeaway: I don’t “force” myself out of a slump, I make it easier to show up by pairing reading with something comforting and low-pressure. If you’re stuck, consider this your permission slip to borrow a stack from the library, make something with your hands, and let the day be gentle while the stories do the heavy lifting.
