i can measure how happy someone is with themselves and their life by observing how they speak to others. i cannot be convinced that anyone who is unkind, condescending, or spiteful is a happy person

High af. As a touch deprived child it took me so long to realize my dog just wants me to pet him for no reason sometimes. I’m like you are fed, housed, and appear to be fully functioning. Why r u in my face. I had not accounted for the rest of love. Love to me was only surviving.

I will never hate anyone for hating on my favourite books 😭 it's not a big deal everyone has their own taste

You know what’s crazy? I don’t think I’ll ever get justice. Because for that, you’d need evidence, yes? Now what evidence would be needed? A video I couldn’t take? His sperm I couldn’t fucking collect?

It’s so wild how my sexually abusive biological parent manages to still be abusive to so many people in so many other ways too, while “spreading the word of God” by the way.

[KC 🎀 @kcrys13]

I am able to live this life without letting my experience with my biological male parent run me, but of course I still get episodes and experience flashbacks. I’m only human. Hell I even sometimes have nightmares of him touching me.

i am begging some of you to become ok with hearing not-so-great-things about yourself. especially if it is coming from a loved one that historically respects your agency. chances are you unknowingly crossed a boundary & someone is trying to tell you in a respectful way.

the idea that going to the movies alone is seen as sad and lonely is crazy to me. like, that’s barely even a social event

Filipinos continue to see reading as a source of comfort, escape, and learning. But as book prices climb and access to titles remains uneven, a growing number of readers are finding that the hobby they love harder to sustain.

Data from the 2023 National Readership Survey, commissioned by the National Book Development Board, showed that 89% of Filipino adults still view reading as a positive activity. Most readers also continue to prefer physical books, with 74% choosing printed copies.

Still, fewer Filipinos are reading for leisure. The share dropped to 42% in 2023, down from 54% in 2012.

Online, many readers point to the rising cost of books as a major barrier.

“Back then, you could get paperback books for around ₱250 to ₱350,” a Reddit user said. “Now, ordinary paperback copies of the series I like cost no less than ₱600.”

Others noted that bigger novels are worth ₱700 or more—an expense that could be harder to justify amid rising living costs.

“That’s why I decided to buy an e-reader,” a user said. “I still get sad because the physical book experience is so nice. But I’ll really save more money with an e-reader.”

“Pero iba pa rin talaga feeling nung hawak mo mismo yung libro,” another user added.

The country’s geography as an archipelago also drives up costs, as books often have to be transported across islands before reaching readers.

Moreover, libraries and bookstores are concentrated in urban centers, leaving many communities with limited access to reading spaces.

According to the National Library of the Philippines, Metro Manila—home to over 12 million people—has 452 public libraries and 390 bookstores.

Data on bookstores outside the capital is not consistently available across all regions, but library distribution still highlights the disparity.

The 208,000-population Ifugao, for instance, has only two libraries. Samar, which has 800,000 residents, has just one.

Down south, in the Davao region—home to about 4.7 million people—there are only 32 libraries and 63 bookstores. In Lanao Del Sur, with a population of 1.3 million, has are four libraries.

Filipinos still want to read but for many, rising costs and uneven access make that habit further out of reach.
