... reading is sexy ...

[nicholaskyleedwards]

Offering

Step forward. Are you ready?

Show me your scars, your absences,

Prove the weight you carry:

A missing gaze, a borrowed spine,

A voice frayed at the edges.

No? Then what can we offer?

Extend your hand.

It’s empty, but not for long.

Here’s a gift,

It will hold your burdens,

Smooth the sharp edges.

It will obey.

Will you take it?

It promises to close your eyes

And wipe away the last grief.

We are makers of necessity.

Here, try on this armor:

Rigid, but unyielding.

It will weather storms,

Defy the consuming fire.

It’s yours, for now and forever.

Your thoughts wander, incomplete.

Let me offer clarity—

A figure of clay and breath,

Shaped to suit your needs.

Do you find them perfect?

They mold, they mend,

They fill the quiet void.

You lack. They complete.

You seek. They answer.

Will you claim it?

This is the final offer.

Themes: Conformity, identity, societal pressure, artificial fulfillment, autonomy.

Tone: Critical, questioning, rebellious. Challenges the idea of filling one’s life with externally imposed ideals and questions the authenticity of such offerings.

In that moment, I want to read you better than my favorite book. Study the outline of your frame. Shine angled to cheek. Light sweat on temple. Mouth half perched up, quiet yelling to the sky. Chest radiating with sun.

— Melania Luisa Marte, “Losing You” from Plantains and Our Becoming: Poems (Tiny Reparations Books,August 22, 2023)

how to start reading again

from someone who was a voracious reader until high school and is now getting back into it in her twenties.

start with an old favourite. even though it felt a little silly, i re-read the harry potter series one christmas and it wiped away my worry that i wasn't capable of reading anymore. they are long books, but i was still able to get completely immersed and to read just as fast as i had years and years ago.

don't be afraid of "easier" books. before high school i was reading the french existentialists, but when getting back into reading, i picked up lucinda riley and sally rooney. not my favourite authors by far, but easier to read while not being totally terrible. i needed to remind myself that only choosing classics would not make me a better or smarter person. if a book requires a slower pace of reading to be understood, it's easier to just drop it, which is exactly what i wanted to avoid at first.

go for essays and short stories. no need to explain this one: the shorter the whole, the less daunting it is. i definitely avoided all books over 350 pages at first and stuck to essay collections until i suddenly devoured donna tartt's goldfinch.

remember it's okay not to finish. i was one of those people who finished every book they started, but not anymore! if i pick up a book at the library and after a few chapters realise i'd rather not read it, i just return it. (another good reason to use your local library! no money spent on books you might end up disliking.)

analyse — or don't. some people enjoy reading more when they take notes or really stop to think about the contents. for me, at first, it was more important to build the habit of reading, and the thought of analysing what i read felt daunting. once i let go of that expectation, i realised i naturally analyse and process what i read anyway.

read when you would usually use your phone. just as i did when i was a child, i try to read when eating, in the bathroom, on public transport, right before sleeping. i even read when i walk, because that's normally a time i stare at my screen anyway. those few pages you read when you brush your teeth and wait for a friend very quickly stack up.

finish the chapter. if you have time, try to finish the part you're reading before closing the book. usually i find i actually don't want to stop reading once i get to the end of a chapter — and if i do, it feels like a good place to pick up again later.

try different languages. i was quickly approaching a reading slump towards the end of my exchange year, until i realised i had only had access to books in english and that, despite my fluency, i was tired of the language. so as soon as i got back home i started picking up books in my native tongue, which made reading feel much easier and more fun again! after some nine months, i'm starting to read in english again without it feeling like a huge task.

forget what's popular. i thought social media would be a fun way to find interesting books to read, but i quickly grew frustrated after hating every single book i picked up on some influencer's recommendation. it's certainly more time-consuming to find new books on your own, but this way i don't despise every novel i pick up.

remember it isn't about quantity. the online book community's endless posts about reading 150 books each year or 6 books in a single day easily make us feel like we're slow, bad readers, but here's the thing: it does not matter at all how many books you read or what your reading pace is. we all lead different lives, just be proud of yourself for reading at all!

stop stressing about it. we all know why reading is important, and since the pandemic reading has become an even more popular hobby than it was before (which is wonderful!). however, there's no need to force yourself to be "a reader". pick up a book every now and then and keep reading if you enjoy it, but not reading regularly doesn't make you any less of a good person. i find the pressure to become "a person who reads" or to rediscover my inner bookworm only distances me from the very act of reading.

Also, what's the best book you read this year?

I'm a very curious human! Tell me! haha

Unbreakable

Do you not see how frailty flees from your grasp?

Every crack you've endured, every fracture you've faced,

you've risen, unshattered, stronger than stone,

each scar a testament, a victory carved in resilience,

proof that the unbreakable is born from the broken.

[joytri]

Life is just a series of obstacles preventing you from reading a book.

username35 JUST OSCAR IN EVERY PIC??? AND HE'S CLEARLY LOOKING AT YN? IS THIS MY BIRTHDAY PRESENT?

username54 the way oscar was looking for her >>>

alo_oficial congratulations oscar! ↳ oscarpiastri thank you nando

oscarpiastri thank you yn, you're support means everything to me

username55 no offense but I was kinda expecting more from you here ↳ username35 you want her to confess her undying love for oscar here on a social media post? you want her to do it on the internet instead of just to him privately so you can consume media and be in the presence of a relationship that you clearly have no respect for nor no need to be apart of because they don't know you?? that's what you want? be fucking for real ♥️ by mariloublg_ ↳ username55 first of all you also have a parasocial relationship with them, second of all, it's not weird for me to want her to express more about this when his team was shit to him ↳ username35 i can be excited about her posting him and still fucking respect their privacy. they don't need to post anything for us and it is a PRIVILEDGE that we get to see this. if you make it weird for them and ruin their PRIVATE relationship because you personally think she should be more vocal on social media then maybe you need to do some reflection on how you interact with people
