if you've ever worn a fanny pack in public and had someone laugh at you, you deserve it. and if you've had the same reaction after telling someone that you 'love to read', i would again have said you deserve it - until recently.
a little while ago, i had the sort of relationship with reading, that old persons have with technology - i didn't understand why it is important or why it is necessary. i thought of reading as tedious and boring. so many words that you can minus by just using a picture instead. usually i just read titles, look at pictures, and make a general assumption about the rest of an article's content.
but then, i accidentally stumbled onto a book-reading app on my iphone, and accidentally paid for some books, and accidentally began to enjoy reading them. and so i finally began to understand that fanny packs weren't uncool - they were just uncool to me.
i finally got it. i finally understood why libraries and bookstores have millions of different sections. there’s different sections for different likes. and why would you want to read something unless you were interested in it? i know it sounds daft, but it was quite an epiphany for me.
it was so simple. reading is boring, unless you're reading something you like.

interesting...even more so if those who noticed my fanny pack realized it was actually a speed holster for a smith and wesson 357.
