Reading fiction has always been a double-edged sword for me. Some of the most intimate moments Ive spent alone is while reading fictional stories, while at the same time, feeling a pang of disappointment for myself because I wasnt doing anything “productive.” Is this mere entertainment? Am I just escaping my real-life responsibilities and reading stories of make-believe? While I still havent found sincere answers to these questions, Ive grown more confident of what I enjoy and what I dont, which has consequently helped me find peace with this conflict....</p>

<p>Verdict: ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ Check out this review on Letterboxd
Anhedonia. The Wikipedia entry for this word says:
a diverse array of deficits in hedonic function, including reduced motivation or ability to experience pleasure.
At one point or another, we have all experienced some version of this phenomenon - may be characterized by an oversaturation of love, or caused by a prolonged mediocrity in life, or as in the case of our protagonist here, the complete loss of will and motivation to feel anything....</p>

How to fool the world and become a Billionaire I remember hearing about Elizabeth Holmes when I was in my late teens, at that impressionable age when you get hyper-inspired by reading about icons that are going to change the world. There was a profile of her in Wired, with an eye-catching image of her wearing a turtleneck black sweater holding what looked like a test-tube with a tiny amount of blood with a science-y background....</p>

Im scared.
No, not because theres a pandemic going on,
even though that itself is enough
to make one lose their mind.
Theres another deadly virus crawling
its way into my whole being.
Slowly eating away at my sanity,
feasting on my thoughts,
mutating inside my head as if a colony of ants was given
an open invitation to a room full of sugary syrup....</p>
