I know I always go on and on about how time isn’t really a thing, and you’re not late to anything, and we all live at our own pace, so time cannot escape you, but…
There is one thing.
I think it’s one of those things that, at least for me, has a window you can miss and can’t really catch later on.
It’s about books. Could be about movies, too.
I see posts and content about favorite books growing up, and then people come together to reminisce about their favorite books and memories tied to them.
And it feels like an inside joke I’m not in on.
Books weren’t around when I was little. It wasn’t encouraged, for whatever reason, so the only thing I had was what I wrote myself. I was bored to death!
Anyway, by the time I went to the city for high school, I had already missed a few windows. And then I was overwhelmed with everything I wanted to read, so I really became a bookworm. No, a cookie monster – book edition.
Even now I see beautiful covers of children’s or middle-school books, and they sound so fun, but I’m not the target audience, and I can’t read them!
I mean, I can read them, obviously. I can comprehend them, dammit, but I can’t just pick up any of those books and casually enjoy them now. I mean, I am able to, but you know what I mean!
And I also hate that I have to catch up on so many things now, that literally had no reason to be denied in the first place.

I am the same but with the Internet in this context. We didn’t have cable T.V or Internet until I was in later years of high school.

I love reading children’s books in the reason that it’s easily to be reviewed.🤭 We’re the same. My childhood books are only textbooks. I found my love of reading later in life –in my 20s. Damm*t😁😅
