When I was little I was homeschooled and I was a bit behind on learning to read I think, I was so excited for when it would be my turn to learn to read and begged my grandma and older sister to read to me all the time, I learned to read eventually but I don't like to read on my own, my grandma and sister had read the black stallion and black beauty to me so many times I could read them on my own but for the most part I wouldn't, I would always run up to my grandma or sister and beg them to read the old books to me, they always said why? You can read them yourself now, you don't need me, most of the time with a little persuasion they would still sit down with me on the blue couch in the white room and read a chapter or two of whatever book I had requested, I finally know the words for why I wanted to read with them when I could have easily done it myself, I didn't necessarily want to read the book for the story, the point wasn't reading the story, the point was sharing the story with them, I enjoyed their company and wanted to share a minimally engaging activity with them so I could revel in their presence and enjoy their gentle companionship
I was upset because I'm in an amphitheatre at art uil and it's taking forever for the award ceremony but one of the other schools just started playing duck duck goose and made a freaking conga line
Update: they are now singing bohemian rhapsody

Me, standing in my siblings doorway at 12:30 am with a trinket:
"I've brought you a gift"
Me:*gets art table so i wont have to bend over with scoliosis to work*

"Fuck why does my spine hurt so much!"
If real life was dnd I would be a warlock with a very unfortunate choice of patron. My dad is the main reason I haven't died due my own stupidity so it's safe to say he would likely be my patron but because he's a Christian math teacher instead of magic or power he just gives me weird life advice and solutions to math homework and taxes
Me: im sad
Dad: *drags me outside*
Sun light: You are healed, I have healed you.
