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 clichĂ© 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.
