Beacause I can't show my book journal to any of my friends in person I wanted to show y'all.
In stark contrast to commonplace challenges,the endeavor at hand,encapsulated by the notion that 12 books possess the transformative power to rectify a dozen intricacies in my life,unfolds as an odyssey spanning beyond a mere annual cycle.This undertaking demands an investment of time that extends into the profound,necessitating a profound dedication to the intricacies of self-betterment.
I'll definitely read more than 36 books this year, but I'm ending this challenge. Actually, I'm done with all "number challenges". Maybe they work for some people, but to me they just make pressure, turn everything into the chore and take away all the joy and beauty of reading/watching/listening and really enjoying it.
And this goes for many things - everything became just a number and I realized people read a lot of crap just to fulfill the "task" and I don't even know why I am doing this in the first place. I'd rather enjoy one book per month and embrace slow and easy approach to reading/life. That's also a good way to be more mindful, attentive and to pick books/movies more carefully, not just to consume everything that's served for me.
There is hyperproduction everywhere and we are swamped with all kinds of books, movies, series, music and every other kind of content. The problem is - there is so little quality in all that, it's more about quantity. I choose to be more aware of my choices and to embrace JOMO.
So, no more "counting" for me. π Good luck with your challenges, guys. ππ§‘
Iβve been silent on here for a while. But hereβs an update for all things:
I moved house and got frustrated with this platform (Iβm not good with online media) so I kept up the meditation and also writing my book.
I also designed a second wave of items for my soon-to-launch clothing line and have the samples arriving this week SO EXCITING
and Iβve written a 7 year business plan
But Iβm trying to relax and be idle more because I over schedule my time and I donβt leave enough time to just relax. As a manifestors type (human design) I need a lot of unscheduled time for idling to allow for creativity.
Anyway hope youβre all being inspirational

Start small, do regularly, and achieve itπ
Have been struggling for years to get back into reading so did stick with manga one shots and children's books I've been meaning to read for like four straight years but for the first time since about 2016, I completed my yearly reading challenge! Might be time to up the anti and go for 20 π
For G, it's Gokurakugai Sanban-doori no Ken; a crime-fantasy one shot. Super sad there isn't more to this, I love this world so much. Miss reading gang crime stuff, it's such a unique genre
Went for Yuusha Goikkou no Kaerimichi for Y and I am absolutely emotionally devastated in the most perfect way ππ solid 10/10, easy
For K I went for Kon no Ki Konoha, another romance with a fantasy dynamic, another quick one shot but one that absolutely astounded me. Easy 8/10 rating π
For T I went for the one shot TokiDoki. A beautifully sad romance, so in love with this. 9/10
For Z I read the one chapter manga - The Zombie Maria by Atsushi Nakayama. Went for an easy one shot to ease me into things.
