Reading was Her Escape. Then It Became Her Business.

Meet Flaky Hobbyist Chat #004. ♡ She didn’t always love reading. In fact, it wasn’t until later in life, while she was on bed rest during her pregnancy with twins, that she picked up books and discovered something she hadn’t really experienced before: Reading could be an escape. She started devouring romance and fantasy books, and now she’s the kind of reader who has multiple books going at once because sometimes you need a little palate cleanser between the heavy world-building. And they way it usually goes for a hobbyist - reading didn’t stay just a hobby. Those fantasy worlds eventually started inspiring worlds of her own. She creates candles around imaginary places, moods and characters she’s built in her head. From romantic fields and princess vibes to darker castles and enchanted forests. Basically: read the fantasy book, light the fantasy candle, become the main character. ✨ And at the end of our five minutes, she had the sweetest message for the stranger who paid for her conversation: Talking about something that makes you happy can spread that happiness to someone else and maybe inspire them to go do something that makes them happy too. Yeah. I think that’s exactly what these chats are becoming. ♡ Flaky Hobbyist Chat #004 Your hobby. Your five minutes.
