My 2022 Reading List
2022: A Year Of Change
In 2021, I found out that there was another layer deeper to the “rock bottom” I’ve heard about others hitting – all the while thinking that’ll never happen to me. Well, it did. It feels cliché to say it like that, but that’s how it felt. Being lost and stuck in the world is a brutal place to be – especially when constantly being drowned out by recurring waves of indecision, overthinking and inaction every time I came up for air. But all of that led to this – my journey to find myself, or create myself or simply just figure out things that I like to do again. And it all started with reading books. Many, many books.
