Over the past few years, I became a big internet reader; blogs, articles, videos, twitter, infographics. I read anything I could get my hands on, feeling voracious for knowledge—and distraction.
Sometimes when you’re stuck in a rut professionally or personally, educating yourself on anything and everything else in the world seems like the best way to escape from your problems. (Or find solutions.)
In conversation, I found myself always saying, “I read this article…” or "I read the other day” and “They say…” (“They" being an incredibly important source from some unremembered publication, of course.) It was like I was on the outside of the conversation, looking in and thinking, “Gosh, does this girl ever have an original thought, or does she only talk about things related to what she reads?”
