I don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't need to justify your reading preferences and choices to anyone. Audiobooks count as reading. Also, you don't have to finish books you don't enjoy. Don't read to impress, read for yourself. Life's too short, love yourself, ok?

For anyone who needs to hear this <33

I'm not going into hiding.

I do not care, I will continue to be who I am and I will do so loudly and proudly, and I URGE you to do the same. It's so important right now to stay and fight for who you are and for your fellow LGBTQ+.

More important now more than ever! 🫶
