📕 Reading

1000s of lifetimes from the comfort of your sofa

Reading feels like stepping into someone else’s shoes, getting to know them bit by bit, until they start feeling like a friend you've known forever. It’s a unique mix of getting lost in a story and finding parts of yourself in characters that were once just words on a page. You laugh when they crack a joke, feel a pang in your heart when they're going through a tough time, and cheer them on during their victories. It’s this emotional rollercoaster, shared quietly between you and the book, that makes reading so special.

The characters you meet in books become your companions; you worry about them, get frustrated with them, and sometimes wish you could give them advice. It's a strange but wonderful feeling—getting attached to these fictional beings as if they were real people in your life. Reading, in its essence, is a way of feeling connected—not just to the story, but to the wider spectrum of human emotions and experiences. It's less about escaping reality and more about understanding it, and ourselves, a little better.
