What have you been reading lately?


As far as I've known, books are my foremost and closest friends.
They taught me the languages of the world, kept me company when others
decided to ignore me because I was too "weird" back then,
and they taught me about life.
Books taught me what it is to feel happiness, joy and
about using my imagination to think beyond the small box
that we humans define as "reality".
Books also taught me what it means to be sad, to have lost
a loved one.
But more than anything, they taught me that no matter what happens,
if you believe in yourself, it doesn't matter who the hell stands up to you..
You are you.No one else.
And as special as one could be.


And I thank you for nurturing me, my friends. :')

Happy Reading Week!

(If you haven't notice, I try very hard to make sure the songs that I post as treats are connected to the post. But this time, you ought just go read a book.)

    Love those zany posters.
    And all those sentiments expressed, on books. Empathy. :)
    The song is a revelation! I didn't know they had one for reading too!

    The song is actually fan-made!
    I know the post seems short, but I tried to keep it to a bare minimum lest I start rambling on and on and on..

Neither am I gonna lament and regret on wasting my days here, because I've enjoyed the time I had and spent here.

Requiem.

He was, no doubt, a mil-no, a bil- nay, a gazillionaire, And she, as plain as the fields could be, Their interests one sided - he could only gaze, Laze upon the thought that was her. He was sure of one thing, though.. He'd never know what peace felt like , ever again. All the wealth he had, and all that he would ever gain, it mattered little to him - for he'd found something. Something, that for the first time in his life, would forever be out of his reach. He was no fool - Oh no, sire, He was a complete idiot! And thus he thought, and think he did - rather foolishly so! The only way to gain peace of mind , in his mind, would be to let her go And the mad man that he was, devised a plan finally. What was it? He'd drop a coin, or any currency that he had, every time a thought stole his mind. He'd place it on whatever was in front of him - so you can imagine the plight of his associates, who knew that the seed of madness took him

The Ballads (Part 1)

Image
Seriously. Once upon a time, there lived a lad who was blissfully ignorant of the world 'round him. He never had to bother with the big things that adults fussed about. Not once did he even have to think about what he was going to wear for the next day - for it was all chosen and done for him before he had to care about it. The boy grew up in this manner until he hit the stage of life where everyone is neither adult nor child. The boy got awfully troubled in this period - for he was neither prepared for it, nor did he have anyone to help him out. But that was where he was wrong!  For he had all the companions in the world.. or did he? His family still pampered him  doing odd jobs that should've been his and never once did he think  "Maybe I should help them out?" Soon though, it got too late to fix what was  for when the time came when the job had to be done, the trigger to be pulled - he was the one behind the hammer.
