Day 1: “I want to read a book”

That was the first thought I had when I woke up yesterday – Day 1 of reading deprivation week.

Yes, at 7 am, my bookshelf of textbooks and inspiring texts seemed more appealing to me than eating breakfast. I wanted to read because I knew I wasn’t supposed to.

I’ve experienced that before…

Someone tells me I can’t do something.
Out comes the “oh ya, watch me” response.

Someone tells me I’m not allowed to be somewhere/do something.
Out comes the “I think I could find a way” rebelliousness.

Someone tells me it’s going to be hard and horrible.
Out comes the “not for me, thanks” thoughts.

I think me and my inner rebel will have a good time together this week. Pick of the Post:  Freesol ft. Justin Timberlake – Role Model
