Reading Is Great therapy..

It is for me, I'm dyslexic, so reading actually helps with my dyslexia. The way I see words or numbers, it isn't the same way everyone else sees them, though I can spell like a champion, even though half the time I think they're spelled wrong. LOL I can joke around about my dyslexia, but I was bullied and tormented as a kid. I was considered learning disabled, yeah, have that title as a kid and see how you are treated. Not only in school, but at home. There wasn't a thing I wasn't called, mostly by my grandmother and siblings and that had an effect on me. I grew a tough skin and I fought, a lot. I was always in a fight of some sort, always in the office, always in trouble for sticking up for myself, something I will never regret. Reading also helped me conquer my own narcissistic traits I had. I didn't know I had any until my ex husband pointed them out. (Yes, he's the cat calling the kettle black.) I was a bit negative at times, angry, and had some serious control issues. I learned to let things go, like my family. My family is a whole subject of their own, I only have nice things to say about my sister and other family and friends who have since passed on. I have nothing nice to say about my grandmother, she wasn't a kind person and probably had some mental issues of her own. But with the books I've read, they have opened some issues I still have. Mostly with the fear of dating and falling in love. Terrifying to say the least. Also having to deal with some stuff that happened that you never told anyone, except a handful of friends. I haven't thought of that stuff in a long time, thanks to my latest book. It isn't a bad thing that I have to think about it, I have to deal with it eventually and have to talk about it, I just don't like to. I dealt with things my own way my whole life and I have things from my childhood I hope I never have to remember. But, if I want to one day be in a relationship, this stuff needs to be brought up. I have a survivor of these traumas and need not be afraid of being judged for what has happened to me. Yeah, a little deep this time, I get that way. Thanks for reading. TTFN, Justine
