I have a small library of my favourite books. I have just started to re-read

Re-reading can be magic. Won’t work all the time but when it does… I fear many readers won’t ever try that.

I think thats called autonomy

I prefer to call this a lifelong allergy to noise. Something I’ve been allergic to since I was a young kid.

It doesn’t mean I hate music or that I can only be happy surrounded by silence, quite the contrary I love music. It just is an allergy to those very specific kind of noise that are devised to prevent you from using your brain and that try to have you always react wit your guts instead.

Exactly like with TV and ads, most politics, most social media and, sadly, most traditional media too. It’s something learned by growing surrounded by a few adults that were in constant anger. Realizing I wanted to never be like that.

Thank you

Thanks for sharing your own experience, it’s great to hear a similar one :)
