Challenge #12:
Tell Us about a Personal Win.


I got back into reading in 2023. I have been saying for years that I want to read again, and I think I even listed it in Snowflake in the recent past, but I didn't get around to it. Toward the end of 2022/beginning of 2023, my sister and I were talking about how we really spend too much time with our screens and both agreed to start reading again and since then, we've made a lot of library visits and tried to get back into the habit. I was better about it for the first half of the year than the second but I still got a couple books done and I'm hoping to keep it up this year. The library being so active and full of people of all ages makes me happy. :D

Also, I co-modded my second exchange, a Rare Pair Exchange ([community profile] rarepairexchange), which was cool. It was slightly intimidating because it was bigger than [community profile] rarefemslashexchange (which is also ran again and I was happy it has gone smoothly so far *knocks on wood*), but I was fortunate to have a super organized co-mod, who made life easier. I have enjoyed running fandom events and I would love to do more of that this year, if I get the opportunity.

Actually reading books feels so productive in a weird way, like it's just like any other hobby but when I got back into reading more after a long time I was just like "wow...books" sjhfskjfs Still don't read as much as I'd like, but a little is better than nothing!

And modding anything is always more work than one would expect, so congrats on that!
