Err … when i was little i read a lot … little = 6-10 years old.
I read fairy tales, poetry and child stuff, but also photoshop tutorials and whatever i was doing back then.
Now i can’t read anymore.
In the last years slowly my focusing capacity gone to hell, my interest for books diminished (it’s null for a while).
To be honest, i don’t like books at all. Why ? Because they give me massive headaches, because i can’t read them, because they’re long and i get a back pain and eye pain and head pain and this stupid spinning-around-the-room feeling when i open them and struggle to keep focused on the respective paragraph.
But because i didn’t manage to stay focused and read a text from start to finish, i improoved my reading between the rows ability … which makes me a very very fast writer, because my eyes search for keywords and add them in my head.
Works well with newspapers, websites and most books.
But there are many other things i can’t read between the lines … like some blogs with long texts without formatting that just look plain yucky, things related to the law (with article i don’t know what from i don’t know when) and legal aspects, and many more.
I know there’s a disease that had these effects over the brain … but i don’t know what it was called.
Oh well, sometimes it happens so that’s why i feel like a retard because i still lose an important word sometimes like “no”, or when a very special person gives me a note with a piece of paper and i get a headache because i can’t read it without pausing …
Oh well, at least i can read my blog
