Reading: A Pastime or A Problem?

Bluebag discusses a common disease.

Maybe you've had one of those days at school when you just can't read or write. Not because you don't want to, but because you're having a terrible day and you just can't get the words right no matter how hard you tried. The next day, however, it would probably be back to normal, and you could read just fine. There are some people who never escape that and they live with that "terrible reading day" for forever.

That "day" has a name. It's dyslexia. People who have dyslexia are dyslexic, and they often find that their dyslexia gets in the way of everything. You can't possibly go through a day without reading and writing. Even a sick day at home you have to read at some time. Whether it's deciding what movie you're going to watch or what cereal you're going to eat, you're still reading, even if you don't recognize it.

Love.

What does this word mean to you? A hug, a kiss, a caress? Well to some this is NOT their love.

Their love is lying on the floor. Someone telling them they are not good enough. Love. A very misconstrued thing. Different for everyone.

Well after I had moved away and hidden my identity from my abusive father I had a new "love". This love is different from the steel hand of my father. The one that I could feel the pain and failure; the tears running through the nerves in my body. This one is different. Yet I still cry myself to sleep at night. Why you ask? Because this person does not hurt me with their hands. They do it with their words. And sometimes, words, the "sticks and stones" do indeed break our bones. This is also the story of other teens and their boyfriends (this case is more common than the girlfriend beating the boyfriend) and also of parents and their children.
