Bookworm
And I wouldn’t want it in any other way.
I’m a bookworm. I buy books faster than I read them. I devote myself to books as I do with my meals: slow and steady.
The moment I start to read, time stops for me as I enter a very different world, compared to the one I’m living in.
And I wouldn’t want it any other way.
In the society we live in today, stress is the most normal feeling we carry. It controls our lives in so many ways.
But our brains are not made to deal with stress constantly. This is why we have more brain-related diseases now than ever before. And it doesn’t look like we’ve seen the end of it.
However, when we pick up a book and start to read, the brain is forced to relax, and for the moment, it gets the peace that it so desperately needs.
There have been many times when I can’t sleep, so I pick up a book and not much later wake up with the book on my lap. And that’s okay. That means that the brain needed the push to slow down so it could relax long enough to get some sleep.
