time is a circle

I just feel like fiction or not the fact that she’s reading and completed so much still says a lot. Too many CANT read and spend too much time on the phones.

And that’s why they are like that. Reading all those self-help books doesn’t change them. Fictions and fantasy books are great reads. They provide a sense of empathy and healthy escapism that this world desperately needs. Perhaps they should give them a try

People that think like that is because they lack creativity in their lives, probably are boring asf too, and hard to be around because they are just NOT fun. Fiction is a great way of entertainment in your life, filmography or books. Ask those people what their hobbies are… lol

Literally in the new obsession with being nonchalant like this all goes hand and hand

Literally like if she wanna read smut books and have a ball with it then than so be it?! Better than just sitting around scratching your ass all day. Let people enjoy their hobbies 😫

they hate a woman with a hobby.. literally you can’t do shi for fun somebody is always gonna have some dumb shi to say.

It’s not even that, any form of reading will continue to boost cognitive function it’s not a wasted activity. The comments slating her are just elitist weirdos trying to be edgy. Miserable cunts the lot if them

Enjoyment and having an imagination is a good thing

The ability to read, process and analyze work by authors like Chinua Achebe, Harper Lee and George Orwell is literally helpful to neuro plasticity. Reading is foundational and it’s a skill you should always sharpen. Even if it’s just a romantic book, plz for the love of God, READ

Also fiction does help u develop. It helps with media litercay way more than a book that is just a bullet point list of things to do to be happier😭

THISSSS like why does somebody have to ALWAYS be working to better themselves that sounds fucking exhausting when are you supposed to enjoy life living like that????

n what’s more, the lessons that help shape n better us are actually woven into fiction itself. that’s what makes it so enjoyable! you see yourself in the characters n grow alongside them, w/o ever needing a self-help manual. through them, we better ourselves organically!

You learn more about yourself and how to navigate through life from fiction than any self help book. We learn from experiences and stories from others, not regurgitated talking points that has been said over and over again.

Lol, she should put it in a self help book, I bet those dumbos will eat it up and think they've discovered reading for entertainment

There’s a time and place for enjoyment just like hustling. Life is all about finding that balance of both

This is the lesson this year taught me. There always used to be this nagging thought in the back of my mind about how I should be upskilling myself etc. mean time all my free time is dedicated to hobbies I adore that fill my cup. That voice has gotten quieter this year in particu

Literally reading for enjoyment definitely is a thing. Who gets mad at someone for reading. The hell

From someone who isn’t drawn to fiction, and I have mainly self help books.. reading is reading. Most people can’t even say they read one book this year so idk why it matters.

it all comes down to people not valuing art. (art in any sense: visual, musical, etc.)

Capitalism has broken society

People will say stuff like that and don’t even read at all themselves

so im not crazy for thinking we had this convo last year 😭

A Nigerian that doesn’t read telling someone reading books don’t matter is comical AF

Enjoying weird porn books, can’t make this shit up😂

i will post this quote over and over and over till dumb motherfuckers get it.

Think pieces just to abandon the process of balance?? Yea, stay in fantasy mode then. I guess.

It’s not about reading fiction or not tbf it’s the type of fiction she’s reading. There are a lot of solid fictional books out there. There should be a balance between fiction and non fiction you can read to learn real life lessons.

Is it hard to believe that there are people that really ENJOY becoming their best self?? That perhaps self-improvement can be a hobby and a lifestyle?? If you can't relate, just say that. But let's not act like it's a crime to want to be better.
