Why I Don’t Soften My Reading Choices

I’ve stopped trying to soften what I’m drawn to.

The stories I read reflect the complexity of my inner world — not something broken, but something honest. They allow me to explore emotions that don’t fit neatly into polite conversation or easy categories.

Healing doesn’t require me to choose light over dark.

It requires me to understand both.

And reading has become one of the places where I do that most safely — one chapter at a time.
