I stopped reading for maybe a decade when I started post-secondary education. I tried books during that time but it wasn't until finding an author that resonated with me that the interest picked up again. I still mostly only read that author now but I try other authors in between.

Same with video games. I will slowdown or stop for a while but eventually pick it back up again when the right thing comes along.

but eventually pick it back up again when the right thing comes along.

And when the time is right in your life; which is what people really don't understand until they experience it.

Yeah, same. I'll go months without reading and then consume 40 books in a month before taking another break. Same with video games. #adhd is real for me, always.
