Why I Struggle with Reading but Dream of Writing

I don’t love reading. For me, reading is a chore. It means holding books or devices for long. Even billboards and signposts demand we read to know where to go or what we risk. Yet I can’t escape it. Smartphones, maps and apps all need reading skills. I’ve even changed my mom’s phone language to French or Chinese by mistake—God saved me from her reaction more than once. My true passion is writing. I dream of crafting words like Shakespeare, Achebe or Chimamanda. I write every day and I believe reading is the key to better writing, no matter how reluctant I feel. Writing is a gift. Some writers weave words like magic, and I pray my pen grows steadier. I trust God to guide me as I turn my daily thoughts into stories.
