It’s not you, it’s me. I don’t know what’s wrong with me right now, but I’m just not feeling it. I should be loving this, but I find myself lacking the motivation to turn the page. Is it depression? Some kind of reader’s burnout? Are you just not for me? Maybe I should have read you years ago when my mind was fresher, and you could have masterfully captured my imagination. Instead, I find myself feeling empty, and guilty for not finishing this book that should have been a quick read. One day, I’ll return. I hope to find then what I’m missing now. Until then, you’ll hold a spot on my shelf…
Sorry…
Years ago – c. 2011-2013 — I felt this in regards to the movies I was watching. I felt indifferent to most of the movies I watched, even the great ones, awarding them 5-to-6/10. But I was in a dark place; I was a solid pessimist bordering on nihilism, and that skewed the way I viewed everything in life, even films. I had to force myself to change my thought processes to enjoy movies more, and as a consequence of that, I grew to view life in general in a more positive light.
