I didn’t read comics, or play table-top or collectible card games, or play video games (other than Mario or Tetris) or anything else like that; partly because I had no time (I was at ballet classes 6 days a week from the age of like 12), and partly because I didn’t really even know those things were out there. Even though I definitely had a group of friends who were very much into those things.
But if I had known, would I have been into them?
Probably not.
