    What Reading Has Taught Me, and Why it’s Still Important Today

    Hey guys, As some of you may have realized, I’ve been in a little of a reading slump lately. Whilst this isn’t rare for me, I’ve been reflecting a lot on WHY I love reading so much, and how it’s affected me throughout the years. I know that there a lot of studies and articles out there…
