When I Hear, Stop It!

Read Read Read! Tory is always reading. That's right, you would always find me on my reading app at any given time.

I mean, my situation is different. I could literally be stressed day, day out and yet still open my reading app to continue from where I stop. It got to the point whereby I needed not to first be in my leisure period before opening that app.

Now ask me what I read? Novels. Online novels.

If there's one thing my elder brother is tired of me for, it is these.

I could come across a sad event in a story and before you know it am either crying or screaming on top of my voice and when am being asked on what happened, you'll see me pointing to my phone or mentioning the names of the characters involved, of course nobody will be able to see what i saw since at that time am the abnormal one among everyone.

My love for online books has in many ways affected my daily life and one of which is the ability to be able to sit back and read just anything regardless of the genres involved.

I got to realize that no book is borren and that's why even if the majority finds difficulty in accumulating uninteresting books, I'll still take out time to read, simply because i want to know the end of it and i guess that end result is everything that keeps me going in a book. The only thing is, I might never read such a book again or books by such an author if it makes less sense to me.

However, this habit of mine had successful turned me into a procrastinator.
Oh my! If i come across an interesting story, i could go as far as staying awake all through the night and still force myself to sleep during the day..hehehe

It could be annoying, you know. It's after the deed has been done, I'll begin scolding myself. I think those who had been in that shoe would understand the depth of how those feelings could be.

Aside from the sleepless nights, I also discovered the problem of prioritizing my book over everything else. By the time I choose to give it a pause and focus on other things, I'd be so tired and before you know it, I've dropped both books and work just for sleep.

Although this problem affected me greatly during the first period I picked interest in reading, but with time I've been able to create a balance in both my work and my hobby.
As a matter of fact, I tend to challenge myself to meet up with all my tasks (daily life necessities) and place reading as a reward if I could finish up.

These have been my logic that have helped in complementing the things I need to do and what I love to do. The only issue left is the sleepless nights and i hope to find a solution to it someday.😪
