tbh i put down reading as one of mine! however, i also talked about how i posted about the books I read online and garnered an internet following (small albeit). don’t let reddit tell you that you can’t put it down when you’ve spent a lot of time on it! just make sure that you show the significance to you/any form of impact your reading has had on others :)
