Reading Through It — Staying With Myself While the Story Sharpens

As I move through books like Deviant King, I stay aware of how the intensity builds — not just in the story, but in me.

I notice when my body tenses. When it doesn’t. When a scene feels grounding instead of overwhelming. That awareness is something I didn’t always have, and I don’t take it lightly.

Reading dark material now feels intentional.

I choose when to engage. I choose when to pause. I choose how much I carry forward.

The story can sharpen.

I don’t have to.
