I used to think that it was a figure of speech to say that you couldn't put it down. Just a metaphor for how excellent you thought the book was. But now I see that it can really ensnare you, divert you from work, prevent sleep, even make you forget a meal, when a book is exactly up your alley. That while you could of course put it down, only a real emergency could prevent you from picking it right back up again.

Pushing off until the last moment the same story every day seeming to become a mundane chore even if once fun exciting new
change the rules to keep things fresh hold deepening interest for days to come.

Making the best usually requires knowing
Knowing ahead of time can often help too
When it's all a surprise you better hope that you are lucky

When the sun is bright & I get overexposed I feel exhausted & everything is hard. It's a waiting game once I'm affected, as with most types of healing you can't speed it up. Of course, you can always be nice while you're waiting though.

The limitation is often what makes it cool. The creator was able to use it to express something in an interesting or challenging way.
No matter what, there are limitations at play, but they can be more or less strict. Even pure imagination can't function unbounded.

Close my eyes for a moment. Lay down, stay still, allowing for what comes through.
Feeling my heart pulse, sending waves through my body.
It's time to search for inspiration in the deep, dark corners of my mind.
Letting the boundary between idea and world blur.

This tenuous hold on wakefulness is losing its appeal.
The prospect of sleeping seems an ever sweeter deal.
It seems the god of slumber has now got me on a reel.
I better go along with it, give in to how I feel.
Now I will set off to find out what my dreams reveal.

I made my peace
Gave up control
I let things flow
Now I'm on a roll
It's good to be me
A simpler way to be
Feeling much more free
It's good to be me
I made my peace
Gave up control
I let things flow
Now I'm on a roll
It's good to be me
even if I don't do anything
It's good to be me
even if life is just emptying

Unless we've been informed or attempted it ourselves it is very easy to assume that something is not hard to do when we encounter a well done example.
Without such an education the effort that went into the act is necessarily overlooked. Often appreciation is based upon understanding of expended effort.
Sometimes that's all it is.

I may set the bar too high. It may be why I have trouble so often with things others find simple, but there are more obvious reasons for that so perhaps it only adds trouble.
I set it high for myself. I set it high for others.
I don't think to set it so high. In my experience I just find it there. I wouldn't even know it was high if others hadn't told me.
Ideals don't warp due to considerations of practicality. They remain even if your approach isn't set to meet them.
