It’s so beautiful as a previous book worm to rediscover your love for books. School can make it tiresome to read sometimes but a quick point of view change is needed.
Reading leisurely can be so relaxing. Changing my perspective to relaxation instead of it being a “chore” or reminding me of school helped me massively.
Got an urge to scroll? Pick up that book!

I was the same! What worked for me was changing how I saw books in my life. If you see it as a chore then it’s bound to be dropped. So I changed the way i approach it, now for me it’s more of a me-time, quality escapism. so it doesn’t matter the format ( audio books, fanfics, graphic novel, ebooks, before I was more judgmental), and if doesnt hooks me from the beginning I dropped it with no guilt. once you’re honest about what you want in a book (like for me it’s young women writers who overthink the day to day and how to live life) and share with your friends they begin to give great recommendations catered to you it’s a enthusiasm vicious cicle!
I guess I would recommend thinking what was that hooked you before and being really honest with what floats your boat now…

re read your favorite book from when you were a kid
read true crime or celebrity biographies or romance novels
as the other rec said, read short books! I did this for a year and it helped me so much to get back into the practice of reading
go to the library and check out three or four books— don’t buy them so you don’t feel guilty if you cant get through one
go outside with a book when it’s sunny, it’s harder to see your phone screen in the sun, and reading outside is both a big flex and a great joy
I have a personal rule about screens in bed outside of specific times which helps me read instead of scrolling if I want to lie down for a bit
It does take a little bit of practice to get it reincorporated back into your routine but it’s easier if you love it !

It can take you right back and remind you of why you started to love reading in the first place.

The only thing to figure out is that there is nothing to figure out, you just exist.
You aren’t a project that has a final answer, you are a just person.
Even if there was such an answer, what if you never ”figure it out”? Will that stop you from living the life you want to live?
The answer to that question should always be no (unless you’re a scoundrel then control yaself)
Just existing isn’t the end of this, but choosing to live will be

Pain is a part of nature and the cycle of life
To complain and stress about pain is to complain about the beauty of life
The beauty of life is not only the happy moments in life but the fact that something comes after,
Pain is part of what it means to be human
It is not the enemy
Even if it was,
Acceptance and love for yourself will triumph everytime
