    If I’m not really into what I’m reading the words are just words and I dont really absorb what is being said, if I am interested in what I’m reading however its the opposite and I don’t even see words, just knowledge or if its a story I disappear into another world. It’s one or the other and I can’t force it. I think I must hit some kind of hyperfocus mode when I am able because usually when this happens it’s hard to pull myself out of what I’m reading. I need to figure out how to turn that mode on manually. 😆

      Same for me. It’s either like trying to decipher an alien language or being fully immersed in another world. Very little in-between.

      It sucks because my kids want me to read them books, and I do, but reading children’s books out loud is extremely exhausting so I can never get through as many as they want at bed time.
