Reading

I've always loved my mother's voice, and I believe its because she always read me books. Yes, those children books, I can't forget them. The only thing is... I never like reading. its always been very difficult for me. Reading always took me longer, the words would always break my brain. I liked skipping over the middle of the word and just guess what that word was... I was wrong a lot, but as I grew and my education became more pushed I had to stop guessing. The words would still break me though... but really, I always thought things should be spelled how they sound... right? No, no, hardly ever right? I grew to being embarrassed by my own brain, I grew to think that I was stupid. I knew I had dyslexia, but what did that even mean? I was different... I could see the word but my brain did not like what it saw so it would send me a blank jumble of blackness. Only later on in my teen years did I start to overcome this block enough to start to open books up for myself and read... and complete them. Now I have read many books... and I'm proud that I can really read a book. I feel amazing when I finish a book, really complete. Books are now growth for my imagination a center to begin a new creation.
