Things People Who Love to Read Wish You Knew
If this is part of your life story, please share your insights! What would you like the rest of us to learn? What should we know about people in this community? How would you like people to interact with you? Should people ask questions? What’s the best way for people to learn about this? Do you have any resources (books, movies, YT videos, etc) that will give us greater understanding and empathy and kindness toward people who experience the same things you do?
If you’re not on this journey, we welcome you to listen, learn, and ask respectful, good-faith questions! Open-ended questions are highly encouraged, as they give people the space to share their unique experiences in their own words. While this is a safe space to learn about things you’ve never experienced, please remember to be sensitive, and avoid sharing harmful stereotypes or debating someone's lived reality. If you have a question, ask it with empathy. If someone gently corrects you, please be open to learning. Let's have a gentle, fun, friendly conversation where we support one another, because it takes all sorts to make a world!

@jesusredeemedme2425
It doesnt matter what you read!! Stop letting people judge you! The whole point of reading is to have fun, everything else is a bonus!! Listening to audio books is not "fake"!
This ^^^ <3
@unassumingEyes
60% of the books I have ever read, and believe me, I have read a lot, were audiobooks.👻
And as for the genres, I read anything in fine print 😎
@jesusredeemedme2425
Reading slump is real. The guilt it brings on is hard to eliminate. It's okay to step back and focus on life.
@jesusredeemedme2425
It's a great past time.
It doesn't make us boring.
It's a great way to escape, de-stress and build the imagination and draw on your creativity 💙
@jesusredeemedme2425
I have only one thing to say: If you aren't in the habit of reading or listening to audiobooks(audiobooks are even better than reading plain books), you are missing out on a lot🧐
@curiousbookishness the gif 😭😭😭😭
Hehe it takes more than to ask somebody to read👻
@jesusredeemedme2425 no talking to me when I'm reading unless the house is on fire 😂

Bro right???? It’s like a book is a neon sign saying “please talk to me” XD
@jesusredeemedme2425 the second you pick it up everyone wants something
And it’s not even necessary things XD
@jesusredeemedme2425
Example -
"Hey babe, are you reading?"
And I'll be like -
"Can't you see that?"
Right?? Lol
@jesusredeemedme2425 🤣🤣
Kids' books are way cooler than adult books. Hehe
