Yeah, I have to say, spending time reading and writing (or drawing or making music) is as cheap or expensive as you’re willing to make it. My spouse and I heavily pulled back from the internet over a year ago now and have spent a lot more time at the bookstore, reading books to each other, doing puzzles and playing card games. It costs almost nothing, is significantly more fulfilling, and I’ve found myself much more motivated to write creatively again, something I hadn’t done regularly since I was a teen.

its all very “I live in a burnt out T34 in a junkyard in Wisconsin. My only friend in the world is a tapeworm called Bordiga…”
