@morreafirebird I kind of let out a deep breath and smiled when I saw your post! 😊 It’s so good knowing I’m not the only one. . .

I haven’t read Lord of the Rings (it’s on my list because so many writers have sung its praises on here!), but I will say that it can show up anywhere if there’s a situation that could allow for it. However, YA does tend to be more rife with such situations. 😛

@daeus-lamb *rubs hands* Ha ha, Cry the Beloved Country has now arrived at the library for me as a result of your advice. 😊

@selah-chelyah *mouth falls open* That. . . is solid! Just because of that, I finally started a Goodreads account and sent you a friend request (if that’s what they’re called there??) 😅. Heh heh, now to stalk your favorite books. . . (No, I’m not creepy! Why would you say that? XD)

Like I said, this is something I’ve struggled with for a long time–talking about it repeatedly with my mom (my go-to counselor [helps that she actually had a course or minor or something related to counseling in college lol]), making very little progress, ending up back at the keyboard/page wanting to keep reading but not sure if I should. I really hope this helps! Thanks, girl! 😊

(Also, just so no one misunderstands this, I’m not trying to say I’ve got the issue completely settled and don’t need any more advice. If you have some, please share it! 😛 Plus, ya know, clearly I’m not the only one who’s dealt with this, so. . .)
