when u used to be the topper before covid who participated in everything and got good marks and won at everything so now everyone has high expectation of u but youve let yourself go during covid and now you get bad marks and dont win at anything and you KNOW you could if you tried to but u just cant get yourself to try and do anything and you feel so guilty and you'va also become unfit and you have to reduce your weight but u can stop eating junk and hate exercising also everyone else is getting better at everything and people who used to look up to you or ask you for studies now are the ones u have to ask and they keep going forward while you're going backward and you know you keep disappointing your parents but they are so good about it and dont say much and they will support you in whatever you do but you just dont want to do anything and again you feel so guilty and olympiads are also coming and you havent studies one bit and the other kids are so good at everything you dont know how and you REALLY wanna get your life back on track but you dont have any motivation and where do u even start

This honestly deserves a whole post but it requires reliving some... past memories soo I'll probably post that later
Can't agree more
Is it just me or are in home libraries like the dreamiest thing? A little cozy room lined with shelves, full of books of all shape and color that you’ve collected over the years, with a big round window in an alcove where you can sit and sip some tea and thumb through your favorite novel and listen to the rain pattering against the glass. Thats the life
there are these books that seem more like a symphony, with beauty and rhythm, words rising and falling like a slow, sleeping breath, and it’s like i’m sitting in a theatre with the music echoing through me, while my eyes are closed and i watch a lifetime projected on the inside of my eyelids, and that is why i read.
