As Geb’s eldest son, Osiris inherits his father’s kingdom, and becomes the first Pharaoh. But another sibling in this family, Set, is jealous and murders Osiris in order to gain the throne.

“The more control you have over your attention, the more control you have over your future. And it starts with having enough courage to protect your time.
It’s so easy to say yes. We want to be agreeable, helpful, liked. That’s how time disappears and attention becomes fragmented: not in big chunks, but in a thousand small concessions.

“We are hollowed, bit by bit, as all that made us human dies. Our kindness. Our empathy. Our capacity for fear, and love. One by one, they slough away, until all that’s left is the desire to hunt, to hurt, to feed, to kill. That is how we die. Made reckless by our hunger. Convinced we are unkillable until someone or something proves us wrong.”
Excerpt from “Bury Our Bones In The Midnight Soil” by V.E. Schwab

This article really made me reflect on my identification as a slow reader and how I also feel uncomfortable with the label. Moreso from the perspective of someone who used to be a fast reader. I would devour books like it was my job and it fueled my writing as a kid. Now that I’m older and getting back into writing, I’m realizing how uncomfortable it is to the pace I am able to read.

When I read the Court of Thorns and Roses books, I literally sped through them. I achieved like half my reading goal just getting through those books alone. I wanted to be part of the action and talk about the themes of the book. I wanted to understand the memes and feel like I was part of a greater organization of people who were also feral on fairy smutt.

Control is why brains are on constant alert for the unexpected. Unexpected change is a portal through which danger arrives to swipe at our throats. Paradoxically, however, change is also an opportunity. It’s the crack in the universe through which the future arrives. Change is hope. Change is promise. It’s our winding path to a more successful tomo
