Where It All Started


I live a very stressful life and my one and only vice is books.
It's how I relax.
unwind,
and leave the real world for a bit.
Truth is reading is an addiction.
I am addicted to books,
to reading,
collecting,
and re-reading.
I had a rough start learning to read when I was young.
Because of dyslexia I struggled immensely.
It wasn't until my freshman year of high school that I discovered my love for reading.
It all started with an amazing English teacher and Shakespeare play assignment.
A Midsummer Night's Dream.
We had a list of characters and a vague plot and were told to write a story on it.
We weren't allowed to read the play before writing our short stories.
And this is when my addiction to books started.
