I was told today that I read too fast...like it was a bad thing. It hit me immediately and I felt bad, like I had done something wrong.

It wasn’t until later that I wished I had piped up with a ‘well you watch too much TV’ or ‘You scroll too much social media’ - the second one, in fairness, I’m also guilty of.

I think what resonated with me was how, for a moment, it made me feel bad when the reality is the reason they said it was because they felt bad due to the fact they barely read at all.

I’m not wanting to shame anyone - watch as much TV as you want, scroll for hours if it makes you happy and devour the paper people your eyes are closing with exhaustion - just don’t take someone else’s pleasure and make them feel bad about it.

Thoughts over - I’m getting back to my MM romance and then later the reaper and his crush.
