2022-08-28 09:01:00 There is a reason for this, and the reason is I am pursuing a career in stand-up comedy.

cause = an action, event, situation etc that makes something happen:
'The cause of the fire is still being investigated.' These outbreaks of
violence will continue to occur until the causes have been eliminated.'

reason = something that provides an explanation: 'I'm sure that they must have good reasons for wanting to live abroad.'
'The reason why there is only one applicant is that the job wasn't advertised.' Open / Comment

2022-08-26 12:25:01 I had come a little early to catch up on my reading.

catch up (on/with sth) = do the things that you should have done before so that your work is up to date: 'Why don't you stay at home tonight and catch up on some of your homework?'

Compare: 'Don't get too far behind with your homework or you'll never be able to catch up.' Open / Comment
