I enjoy reading very much. I can also read in French and Italian. However, despite my expensive private education I have never had well paid jobs that reflect my education. I enjoy reading the daily dose of happiness but my financial concerns keep me too busy to think much about happiness and my goal of finding a partner.

Wow — that’s interesting! Reading is such a valuable skill that most of us take for granted. I don’t know what I would do or how I would make it if I couldn’t read.

My great grandmother never learned how to read and I see her struggle continuously. She has difficulty using a phone book and paying her bills. Simple every day tasks are overwhelming and stressful for her.

I should note that literacy is also about writing. One of things we have learned running our freelance writers agency is that people often come to us with their life stories. Some come because "writing it down would be good therapy". Others come to bear their soul because "others could learn from what I have been through", sometimes poor choices, sometimes victim of an organization. Many people keep a diary for just that purpose, and once they see the words in writing, they can let go of their troubles inside. We have also set up a ghost writers blog, in case that is of interest to you.

if I couldn’t read I would be pretty unhappy….. however, people that know less have less stressful life - you don’t know, you don’t care.

I must admit, I am usually happier when I read more often. I am not sure if it relaxes me, or just learning new things. The hardest part for me is keeping up the habit of reading often. Sometimes I get on a rut where I don’t pick up a book for a couple weeks.
