Sad

You know what’s sad? Not being able to read books for leisure anymore. You know why? It’s because of school, why else?
There are so many things to do that I don’t even have time to chill anymore. However, you’d say that I’m on Messenger like 24/7. I’m not going to deny that. I have to be because I have to be active in about 14 group chats just for discussing school work alone. So if I can’t even use Messenger for chilling out, what more is reading books?
I love reading even though I don’t seem like it. I am actually a very slow reader, but that’s just what I need myself to be when I am reading books. This way I can deeply understand and therefore enjoy what I am reading, but then what is that trait for when I don’t even have time to read? It only brings about bad results in school. It’s a struggle for me to finish reading school material like Florante at Laura on time. Even though we won’t be having Romeo and Juliet until the next term, I can see myself just watching the movie and reading the summary (and not even finishing reading it). Even until now, I still haven’t finished Anne Frank’s diary and The Adventures of a Child of War from last year, but at least I still got to answer the book reports on it. Often, I see people reading Thirteen Reasons Why or Looking For Alaska during lunchtime and I wonder how they aren’t reviewing for the form in the next subject. It seems almost impossible for me to do what they do. Every word I read that is not related to school feels like another step away from reaching high grades.
