The Joys of Reading

Written by Norway on Sat Oct 21 2023

Intro

I am not one to express my emotions openly. In fact, I prefer to keep them locked away, hidden from the prying eyes of the world. But there is one thing that brings me immense joy and allows me to escape into a realm where my thoughts can roam freely - reading.

The Escape

When I open a book and immerse myself in its pages, it feels as though I have stepped into another dimension. A place where reality fades away, and imagination takes over. It's like embarking on an adventure without ever leaving the comfort of my own home.

The Power of Words

Words hold tremendous power within them. They have the ability to transport us to far-off lands, introduce us to captivating characters, and ignite our imaginations like nothing else can. For someone who struggles with expressing themselves verbally or showing their emotions outwardly (cough that would be me cough), books become a sanctuary – a safe space where I can explore different worlds without fear or judgment.

My Love for Fantasy

Fantasy has always held a special place in my heart – perhaps because it allows me to indulge in realms so vastly different from my own mundane existence. From dragons soaring through skies adorned with floating islands to epic battles fought between forces of good and evil; fantasy captivates me like no other genre does.

Tales of Heroes & Villains

In these fantastical tales lie heroes who possess incredible powers they must learn how to wield responsibly while battling against formidable foes determined on destroying everything they hold dear (ahem, sounds familiar?). These stories remind me that even those burdened by shyness or perceived weaknesses are capable of great feats if only given the chance.

Magic & Wonder

Magic exists within every page turned - spells conjured by sorcerers seeking knowledge beyond mortal comprehension; enchanted forests teeming with mythical creatures waiting behind each tree trunk; quests undertaken by unlikely heroes to save the world from impending doom. It all stirs my imagination and fills me with wonder, igniting a flame of curiosity that burns brighter with each book devoured.

The Science-Fiction World

As much as I adore fantasy, science-fiction tiptoes into the realm of possibility – it stretches our understanding of what could be. From futuristic technology revolutionizing societies to intergalactic travels beyond human comprehension; sci-fi opens doors to worlds yet unseen and unravels mysteries begging for exploration.

A Love for Science

Now, don't get me wrong; I may be shy and emotionally reserved (insert sarcastic eye roll here), but inside this introverted soul resides an insatiable thirst for knowledge. My love affair extends beyond mere fiction - scientific literature finds its way onto my shelves alongside tales of adventure and magic.

Unraveling the Unknown

The beauty of science-fiction lies in its ability to intertwine reality with limitless possibilities. It pushes boundaries, challenges perceptions, and dares us to question everything we thought we knew about ourselves and our universe. Through these stories, I am transported not only through space but also into realms where scientific discoveries unlock secrets hidden within nature's very core.

Silence Amidst Chaos

In a world filled with noise – both literal and metaphorical – finding solace becomes increasingly challenging for someone like myself who struggles in loud environments (cue collapsing dramatically). But within the pages of a book lies respite from this cacophony; silence amidst chaos that allows me room to breathe without feeling overwhelmed or anxious.

Reading offers an escape from constantly being on guard against sensory overload - allowing me time alone where thoughts can flow freely without interruption or distraction.

Caring Bonds & Broken Relationships

I have always been deeply invested in caring for those closest to my heart despite struggling immensely when it comes expressing such affections outwardly (sighs). My little brother, Iceland, holds a special place in my heart. I dote on him with all the love and care an older sibling can muster.

A Complicated Dynamic

However, our relationship is far from perfect (ahem, understatement of the century). As much as I adore Iceland, he seems to have developed a dislike for me over time. Perhaps it's due to my reserved nature or inability to communicate affection freely (shrugs), but it pains me nonetheless.

Conclusion

In this diary entry (or blog post - whatever you prefer), I have attempted to convey just how profoundly reading impacts my life and brings joy where few things do. It allows me an escape into realms of fantasy and science-fiction that ignite curiosity within this shy soul. Through books, words become powerful tools capable of transporting us beyond our wildest dreams – into worlds teeming with magic or bound by scientific possibilities.

So here's to the joys of reading – may they continue to brighten even the darkest corners of existence for those who seek solace within their pages.
