Books

Books are our best friends. A saying said by the famous and rightly so. My belief is that books leave an imprint on our soul that nothing else can. The feeling one gets while reading a book is outstanding. It lifts up our spirits and makes us feel good on the inside. It arouses a feeling of happiness which cannot be easily subdued.

For me, reading and writing fall in a similar domain. Thinking of reading automatically connects to writing. When you write personal diaries, your purpose is mainly to communicate with your future self. Knowing that you are writing a book yourself which might someday be read by someone who is very different from you gives you a very nice feeling, almost like getting your own book published which would be like living a dream for me. Not only that, it helps us in analyzing ourselves. 

Writing about certain things helps us gain perspective and makes us see certain things which were not very clear before. Besides, the aura of happiness and contentment that reading and writing exude cannot be put into words. Not even a thousand words can do justice to what I feel then. The sense of security I feel knowing that I have something to look forward to after a disappointing day makes me feel optimistic that maybe, life is not as bad as it seems.

My books and my writings are my life. Had they not been there, my life would've turned barren. I am afraid of being hurt, and I can count on them to never hurt me. They will just help me through the dark days of my life, giving me advises and helping me gain experience. Books are our constant companions and they pull us out of all the negativity that we might be feeling.
