I've met an overwhelming amount of people who want to read books but really can't, and one of the worst roadblocks is the fact that most people imagine reading as a starting a book, and then finishing that same book, front to back.
I've been with my partner for nearly a decade, and they love me with all their heart, and I love them the same. We live together, have a couple of pets, and live fairly comfortably. But I'm still not truly happy, I don't think.
