Lately I have been too occupied. My life is going by so fast, as if a blur. Yes, it sounds so cliche, but I really feel that way. When I try to think back about what I did last week or how it felt to be my last week, everything is just  a blurred spot. I saw the outlines, but not specifically. I repeatedly feel remorse, and I can just see people getting bored with me. Thus, I figured that it is now me time. I have checked out quite a few books with dues of sociology and the world around us to keep my company. I've realized that ultimately, I don't need someone right next to me, the only thing I need are words. Words are so compelling, I almost feel like it is the most important object in humanity, and it actually is. It seems to me that every sentence is an inspiration quote.  Well, as of right now I am seeing that I have a soft spot for senior citizens and in a way, I feel like they are all my grandparents! Especially in a book named Tuesdays with Morrie  by Mitch Albom, is taking my heart with every word and page I turn by. Something that has very well caught my attention was:

So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.

It feels like only after 30-40 pages, I feel so different and is thoroughly inspired.  I love the little world that I bring myself in when I read a book. I feel as if I owe all of my knowledge and senses to books. If it wasn't for my thoughtful mother teaching me and constantly reminding me "A book is a paradox of thousands of other books  because the person who wrote that book has incorporated all of his books he has known into that one book you are reading." when I was just a toddler, I am forever thankful. I love reading, and I hate it when people even talk to me when I am reading, via text. I tend to get very involved in everything I do, read, or see, now that I am also realizing. I often find myself bawling my eyes out at every other book I read, especially now that my taste is certainly developing. 


I'm sorry I have not blogged one of my signature blogs in so long, babies. Don't fear! Free time is going to come to the rescue!
