Yeah! High school really kills a love for reading and makes you forget it can be pleasant (and should be most of the time, hopefully). Somehow my love for reading turned into “I have to read deep things and speculate over every detail.” There’s a time and place for that (like reading a book for the second time, lol), but gosh, by the end of high school, I understand why most people stop reading (or never start).

Like, now that I’m on a roll, eventually I do want to read more challenging, introspective stuff. But I don’t want to lose sight of this feeling, this happiness in a book.
