You people should please help me!

Haew God!

I’ve been too fucking busy.

Jesus.

Me? Release only two yapletters in twenty days? Who are you and what have you done with Chineme.

I swear, I write

and close substack. (check it out if you haven’t)

I’ve been neglecting my first born. Damn, A day in the life has turned into a glass child. I’m so sorry.

But I’ve also been neglecting my other hobbies sha.

I have a tbr that isn’t moving. I’m not adding cause I can’t, I don’t deserve to, but I’m also not reading any.

Will you believe I’ve read only six books this year?

Me! Little miss read everywhere. Little miss I read 147 books last year. Little miss I read 22 books in one month (this was at my peak of unemployment. I had just graduated and had nothing to do. I was downing a book a day).

Now I don’t even read. I used to read in classes, during exams, while walking around in school now I can’t even try it cause I either get interrupted, queried or killed.

The six I read sef, five were in camp and the last was on a journey coming back from Ekiti. I have tried to start but it’s hard finding the zeal to read a book after work when you know:

1. you still have to make dinner.

2. you still have to do homework with your little brother.

3. you won’t finish it.

4. you’ll be too tired to process it.

I sleep off almost every night mid tiktok scroll. I would say reading on the bus, but danfo is too disruptive for that. Trust me I have tried.

So now I feel like my booklover tag is fading.

CAN’T I BE PAID JUST TO EXIST?

CAN’T I BE A NEPO BABY? Floating in the middle of a pool in a Santorini Villa while reading a book.

Do I really have to do this 9 - 5 thing?

I feel like I’m losing the core of who I am. Can I just go back to the freedom of being a university student, minus the stress.

WDYM I’VE READ ONLY SIX BOOKS THIS YEAR.

SIX!?!?!?!?!

I’m so sad.

No this actually has to be resolved. Should I make a book of the week? Like a commitment to y’all. Like I read a book even if its for one hour a night and then I either write a post or do a minor podcast about it. If I read two that week even better.

Y’all should hold me to this. Cause what the actual fuck.

I read 17 fucking books the month of my exams, why the fuck am I reading 6 before June? The only time while in school my read count was low was during my defense era, and it was 7 books.

Then I get employed in November, I read 6 books, December I read 3.

I say no. My job will not take away my hobby. I refuse. I’m putting my foot down.

A book or two a week.

And I will review them to y’all.

The reviews will be coming every Sunday.

Please let me know if you would like the reviews in audio or written format. Audio format means I yap and will be more entertaining than a written version.

And you can also suggest other things I can do to keep up my reading, keep up my hobbies and ensure I’m not swallowed by a 9-5

Thank you.
