people have a tendency to think that assigned reading in school is to teach children to like reading, when really your school assigns the great gatsby because it’s got a lot of prominent and obvious symbolism. Shakespeare is for learning to push through confusion and pick up context

I understand that it sucks to have to read a book you didn't choose as a kid but when people are like 40 and still going, "well assigned reading turned me off from reading" it's like, ok but you're 40. No one has assigned you a book in like 20 years.

i'm firmly of the belief that everyone should have a creative hobby. even if you aren't "good" at it. it keeps your critical thinking skills engaged, it reminds you that you're still capable of learning and growing and improving at things, it helps you connect to other people. you gotta make stuff!
