Permissions for the person who fell out of love with reading

You don't have to read the books you think you're supposed to love.

You don't have to finish what isn't holding you.

You don't have to keep up with anyone else's pace.

You are allowed to choose stories that feel easy.

You are allowed to reread the same comfort book for the fifth time.

You are allowed to stop reading something halfway through and still call yourself a reader.

Falling back in love with reading doesn't start with discipline.

It starts with permission.
