Reading Is My Intangible Best Friend

 Just a book lover’s perspective

Every time I go to the mall, I usually bring myself to the bookstore and stay there for approximately an hour grazing books with interesting titles and covers and sniffing its pleasant earthy smell that touches my strange yet serene memories somewhere in my thought. Books make the most memorable company and it’s easy to tell why: it’s because they exhibit wonders of existing in a different life apart from the mess of reality.

I will always love reading and I will daresay books are enough to keep me happy, surviving, motivated, and most of all nurtured. I keep growing because of reading and I will continue to be. Reading inspires me to write and to share my perspective from it.

I’m typically asked why I don’t get bored from reading, and I admittingly like such prying questions because I also used to return the curiosity to them by asking back what’s wrong with reading and spontaneously advising them to try it too. Reading never bores me, it’s rather entertaining in a way that I forget my problems and negative stuff that stresses me out. Reading is a friend I can count on when I need to divert my attention so that I will avoid overthinking. Reading is actually a therapy because it helped me heal from my previous emotional pain and rid of my exhaustion. 

Reading is a friend I can rely on when I want answers, peace, and tranquility. It fulfills my curiosity, takes my boredom away, and gratifies me with the pleasure of learning and growing.

Reading never fails to amaze and inspire me every time I finish a book filled with adventures and battles between opposing sides which I enjoyed witnessing in my imagination based on the imageries its author had written.

Reading is never boring if you have found a book that suits your taste and mood. We all have individual preferences and to appreciate reading, we just need to start from the genre or material that entices us much. Reading is not mandatory, it’s a choice. So, you have the option to read whatever makes you comfortable, calm, free, or any feeling or emotions you want to experience to become better. Reading creates connection and it teaches empathy towards others through the characters it introduced who are feeling the same way.

Most of all, reading is just magical – it has this power of making my mind lively. It’s a one-sit activity that offers excitement and gladdening mystification of life and the world. I want to know and see more and reading just gives it to me right away. Reading is an all-embracing home for escape and inspiration. It is very well capable of stirring and broadening my thoughts and molding me into someone I wanted to be.

These are all that reading does for me ever since I started to love and appreciate books. Books are precious things and logically speaking, reading them with passion is the best way to take care of and preserve their reminiscence. I love books and they are on my needs list because it’s not only a want. Reading is a need to fill life with wisdom and encouragement. 

My enthusiasm for reading is beyond description. Sometimes when you want to have fun, all you need is a book and all is settled.

How about you? Feel free to share what makes reading your best company.
