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.

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.
