Stages of the Reader

I’m at #7 (#6 was “I had a couple kids”)

This is very reaffirming. I’m at #7 too, where #6 was…i dunno, just life, I guess, but I felt very ashamed about it especially since all the previous stages were exactly like in the picture. I read SO much when I was a kid. 

It’s really nice to see it described as something that just happens, without much stigma, and as only a stage- with unbearable frustration preceding it, because, yes, that’s what loving something can do to you…
