Your Reading Journey Is Personal

So read whatever you like!

I can't tell you how many times someone has asked what I was reading and I glazed over my current selection. The response was that I was embarrassed due to my current reading usually being a book about a Reality TV star, a self-help book, or something else I didn't want to admit. Putting the embarrassment aside I've grown to realize everyone's reading journey is personal.

Maybe you like to read self-help books, cheesy romance novels, or about your favorite celebrity. It doesn't matter because it's your hobby and journey. Whether you think people are judging you or maybe you're judging yourself it doesn't matter because you are on your journey and relationship with reading.

Maybe it's about reading sometimes or you love reading and it's your favorite hobby or you are reading for your mental health. Whatever the reason I'm here to tell you to own it! Be proud of the two books you read this year, that you only like self-help books, that reading helps you fall asleep, or are just starting to fall in love with reading.

No matter where you are with your relationship with reading own it, shout it from the rooftops, and most importantly enjoy the book. I can almost guarantee there is someone out there reading the same book as you or starting their journey in reading just like you and that's the magic of reading.
