Reading is a cruel act.

Nature never intended for humans to read (or write for that matter). Our eyes suffer for it. We wear glasses and convince ourselves that a pair of awkwardly positioned lenses signify intelligence. It’s stupidity. Glasses are uncomfortable and irritating and I hate them. 

I love reading. I love words and the empty spaces between words. All the punctuation marks (!!). The emoticons 😍. 

Most people read to feel less lonely. Some people read to confirm their loneliness. I love that about people. 

I love how books can have soft or hard covers the same way eggs can be chosen in a breakfast menu.

If I had a choice, I would only wear sunglasses. The sun is a cruel act.
