"People nod and walk away when you tell them about a new book you're currently so invested in. They acknowledge your presence from a distance but only occasionally invite you into their conversations. Everyone else seems to have so much fun and are all so comfortable with each other's presence, as you sit at the corner with your earphones plugged in as you eventually shut the world out and enter your own little space so distant from reality. ... You seek refuge in your room, your own private, comfortable space. You’d much rather stay there, where there’s no one around to make you feel so isolated and judged. From books to music to movies, you can identify so well with these well-rounded protagonists from these works of art, thereby understanding them in a way that you think the people around you don’t seem to. You feel a rush of joy and adrenaline once someone does show interest in the things you love to do, but eventually become disappointed when they’ve found other people to share their interests with. It seems like everybody’s so busy with everything and you’re stuck at a point in time, keeping quiet instead and wishing you could slowly excuse yourself, or even sometimes, disappear into your own quiet, private refuge. It feels like, once again, that you are alone." . .. ... .... ..... #books #bookish #bibliophile #bookworm #booknerd #booknerdigans #booklover #bookaddict #bookaholic #read #addictedtobooks #humansofbookstagram #bookporn #bookstagram #instapost #bookpost #bookhunter #bookphotography #goodreads #igreads #epicreads #readmorechallenge #KLreads
