From Stranger To A Book Lover

I am an outcast. I never felt the sense of belonging towards anyone. I would rather stay inside the comfort of my room than to socialize with other people outside my four cornered wall, which I called my own dimension. I have a family who loves me dearly and a small group of friends but deep down inside of me, I am empty. The world, as I can see it, is nothing but a blank space and a meaningless place. Then I began questioning myself if life is really worth living for because I can't seem to find my own definition of life anymore. I didn't know that everything will change when I began to read a book. Everything feels so new and it is something that I never felt before.

Every page brings color to my dull world. The feeling was indescribable, indeed. I never thought that these books will bring me an unutterable joy. I can even relate myself to each characters in the story as if our emotions and hearts are entwined with each other. I found out that a good writer will be able to let their readers experience the same fictional world with their characters. I've read more than fifty books which includes books written by famous authors and aspiring writers. Moreover, most of my favorite books were written by Veronica Roth, Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and Chelsea Handler. These people served as my inspiration to write a book as well. However, I have also encountered some problems regarding my love for books. One of the problems that I have encountered so far is the cost associated with each book. I can never deny the fact that the books sold in the bookstore are quite expensive and as a student, I have to save my allowance in order to buy a book. However, I will never regret spending the last coin in my pocket for a book. The happiness it brings me can never be compared to its cost. My own collection of books are my precious treasures. I will never forget the day it gave me a new definition of life.
