Kind of random but the thought has just struck me again, because I have thought this or at least have known this on some level for many years, that I would write even if it never gets shared or even finished.

Like for years I wrote different things without sharing or necessarily even finishing most of what I started. And honestly, even though I'd love to write something publishable, I would survive easily by just sharing stuff online.

#I feel like there could or should be more to this post but it would just be key smashing of emotions hard to express #I've always thought that if I was ever caught on an island someplace as long as I had something to read and write I'd be fine #I think that part of these thoughts come from seeing a post about writing in a way that brings you joy #and then slightly about a reading post which was shaming booktoc for skim reading to get over 100 books a year #while I know perfectly well (only because the first year that I had my e-reader that I can easily read over 112 books a year #now not all of those were particularly hard reads I'd say that most weren't but I also wasn't skim reading #and I had been reading fanfiction. physical books. and even rereads within that year #so in all honesty it was probably closer to 200 books/equivalent #if not more. but I don't track things like that. I try. but I always lose interest in doing so #but like I'm also reading ALL of the time when I'm getting through all of that #every moment I have to spare and even when I should be doing other things #I can't skim read because I get too sucked into the word on the page #writing is sort of similar where I find myself needing to expess myself in some way and writing is the easiest #so yeah reading and writing both mean a lot to me
