Journal Prompt .003

Happy Thursday everyone! We're back for another journal prompt, and I have to say that I find myself journaling with this prompt so often. I always come back to it and I hope you find something new about yourself in your entries today!


I've been in a reading slump for the past week or two, which is particularly frustrating, considering I am in the middle of my most anticipated book of 2025.

It is nowhere near because of the book I'm reading. In fact, if I wasn't reading Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil, I probably wouldn't be reading anything at all right now.

The world has been tough lately (and by the world, I most certainly mean living in the United States), and I recognize there are many places in the world where living is much, much harder. I think that is part of what has made it difficult lately to sit down and read for long periods of time. I feel equally strained and ashamed for feeling this way.

Why am I so anxious about the state of my home country when other places around the world have been experiencing similar, or worse, legislature and governments for years? Am I allowed to feel this way?

Yes, of course I am.

But there is this odd fighting and pulling in my brain where I consistently feel hurt for myself and protective over others who are experiencing worse than me. Perhaps this is unfair to me (it most certainly is). I should be able to allow myself to feel the unease and hurt during this time. But, I also can't let it be the only thing I feel.

So, to make a long story short, I am reading, and I enjoy what I read. But life, under circumstances beyond my control, has taken over, and I haven't been able to put forth the energy I want to read.

My head is heavy, my brain full of white noise, and my limbs are sleepy.

But I hope this reading slump resolves itself soon. Because I surely cannot wait for nearly four years of this chaos to subside.

What are you reading right now?

I'm all about pay transparency and I think it's important for content creators to be open and honest

I'm all about pay transparency and I think it's important for content creators to be open and honest about how much they make! After all, a lot of content creators are marketers and make their living based on sponsorships! What I've made on social media has been a compilation of paid sponsorships and affiliate programs! I have never been in a creator program on Instagram or TikTok, so I don't get paid that way! #booktok #bookish #books reading, content creator, bury our bones in the midnight soil, ve Schwab, writer, author, debut, romance, lgbt
