Do I NEED time? (DP#67)

This question is a bit tough because my gut reaction is yes, but would that be best?

One of the biggest reasons I personally feel so far behind in life is because I got trapped in the comfortable mindset and routine. Being a recovering procrastinator, the saying “Why do today, what you can do tomorrow!” had a vice grip on my motivation and my drive to better myself. It led to constant lies and gaslighting myself that I would get my crap together tomorrow, or next week, or next year. I never realized I was trapped in such a detrimental cycle, until I blinked and realized I am almost 30 years old! I am at that point (FINALLY) where I am starting to hold myself accountable, understanding that it truly is best to get things out of the way, so I no longer have the need to stress and overthink the endless scenarios.

That being said, I now know that I really do not need, nor should I be given more time. Sometimes the pressure of having no more time left, is what yanks me off that couch and forces me to be the most productive I can be. Whether I like it or not lol. The time for comfort and relaxation is on hold until I reach my goals now. After all, why should I be blessed with the most precious commodity we have in this world, just to waste it?

About Me

Hello! I am Ashley and I simply love to read, and hope you do to!
I am currently 29 years old and living in the state of Texas, USA.

My favorite genres to read and review include romance, fantasy, mystery, and many subgenres of those as long as it is clean. I mainly get my books from my Kindle Unlimited membership, but I also found myself checking out library books on Libby as well.

As you can see, I do not solely post book reviews, I also love posting daily prompt writing, as well as stuff that is going on in my life currently. That being said, my passion is reading and reviewing books to my heart’s content, so hopefully that is something you are also interested in.

I do have a Goodreads where you can follow if you desire (no pressure!) I also have a StoryGraph, of which you can follow me here.
