I can’t remember the last time I finished a book cover to cover. I used to pride myself on being a voracious reader, but now I find myself scrolling through social media instead. It's like I’ve traded literary adventures for endless memes and quick distractions. I feel a little guilty about it, but sometimes I wonder if I’ll ever get that passion back, or if I’ve just become a product of the scrol...
I recently had a moment where I realized I’m way more excited about plants than I ever was about people. Last week, I spent two hours at a botanical garden, completely absorbed by the different shades of green and the texture of the leaves.
