Dyslexia Doesnt Hold Me Back. At School I Was Made To Read The Dictionary And It Was Horrible, But Now

“Dyslexia doesn’t hold me back. At school I was made to read the dictionary and it was horrible, but now I love books. I remember a sign that said ‘Tom Cruise is dyslexic’ and it made me feel better so, when I saw a documentary on it I thought I would tweet about my dyslexia. Young people around the world have this idea that actors are perfect and don’t have problems so I wanted to show that we are human. It was nice to talk about it and know that it doesn’t define me as a person.”

Oh wow, but you see it’s like nobody’s fucking business. And it’s not like anyone cares so..
