just BOOKS

I love books. I have always loved books.
I have not, however, always loved reading.
as a child i loved collecting books, but hardly read. i firmly believe this is due to a few factors

  1. I wasn't reading the right books
  2. I did not understand what I was reading (I had a strong vocabulary but was dumb elsewise)
  3. I watched a lot of tv, and if tv taught me anything it's that nerds. weren't. cool. and reading was very nerdy. so i think i had some preconceived notions about what it meant to be a bookworm.

but i felt such a pull towards books nonetheless. i collected them. i loved book fairs. i wanted to read!
I also had pretty bad adhd which wasn't treated early enough, and i couldn't focus on shit.
