Reading

Its difficult to explain how I feel about books, and reading. When I open a book, I can be a little skeptical at first until I get warmed up towards the characters. Then when I begin to like them, everything becomes... Exciting. I spend my days reading sometimes, and if I'm not, I'll be wishing I was reading.
One of my favourite feelings in the world is reading, because when I'm reading, I get totally absorbed in the book. Before I know it, I'm transported to their world, reading it like it was my own diary entry from a memory long gone. I can picture all the characters perfectly in my head and I follow all their movements in the story like they're real life celebrities. I get excited about events that aren't even happening outside of this book and yet; when I read I'm not the person who I usually am.

When I'm reading, I am that person, I feel their emotions and picture everything in my head like it had really happened.

Something special happens to me when I'm reading. Something I don't quite understand, but it makes me who I am. It inspires me to do my own stuff. I've been writing ever since I was a little girl. I feel invisible when I read a book, oblivious to anyone who looks at me when I'm grinning sheepishly at the book I'm reading, trying not to squeal with delight if something good happens.

I hope people understand how I feel, how important a feeling it is to be whisked away from the real world, even if it is for just a little while.
