If reading feels like a chore, it will be a chore. If you can find something to read that you enjoy, whatever it is, read it! I forget where I read (or heard) this but if you didn’t like reading growing up/it didn’t ever click for you, then it’s going to be an ordeal. You have to build a relationship with reading stuff that is enjoyable for you, whatever that looks like. Reading out of obligation (is that fair?) sucks any joy there might be right out of it.
If you enjoy reading it, then read it! Whatever it is. If you can make it a communal thing it can help you start having some fun with it too. Whatever works. At whatever pace.

Legit I might just have to go back to basics and restart with The Very Hungry Caterpillar or some shit 😭
