I read for an escape (when I’m not reading for classes) and really get invested in the main characters and pulled into worlds. It is a trauma response from using books to cope with a bad upbringing, but something that I imagine will always be a part of how I read. Bc of this, it’s hard to consume heart shattering books without falling into depression. I had to DNF 13 reasons why years ago bc of this and I could NEVER read if he had been with me for the same reason. I would spiritually sink 🫠

Literally hated it could not cope

I literally can’t bring myself to read sad books I’m already sad I want to pretend everyone has a cute romance going on and everyone is going to get a happy ending
