like. i have so many new interests; so many renewed ones too. i’m consuming so much of the world around me!!! so many books, so many movies, long long long walks then ice cream after (or during). i have new favorite actors, & authors, & i think about my favorite obscure animals while i’m on my lunch break, & sometimes i drink too many cocktails & tumble into my apartment far too late. living life to the fullest has me in a state of near perpetual awe; i feel like i’m experiencing new things that simultaneously feel so very familiar - which is how i know i’m doing something right

becoming a reader again has been one of the greatest joys of recovery. for so long i felt i lacked the attention & dedication i once had which made reading possible. realizing that that lack of interest was most likely due to malnourishment was an incredible epiphany. i have read 3-4 books in the last few weeks; quickly, eagerly, hungrily, the way i used to in middle & high school. i read a book in one day last week! i am feeding my body regularly now, & with care; because of this, my brain is rewarding me!! life is so good in this new body
