I’m not much of an avid reader, but I realized something
about myself this very day. I realized that I do not love to read because of
the mere act of doing it, but I love the new insights I receive. Books carry
you on a trip to anywhere! I was born with a vibrant imagination, and I think
this is why I’m fascinated with words, and is interested in the art of crafting
literary works.
I have a collection of encyclopedias in my room. Growing up,
I was surrounded with books; hence I became aware of their importance and
wonder. That collection gave me a good start for my preschool days up to
elementary. Unfortunately, the spree ended when I was in 4th grade.
Those were the times when I was driven by the writing spirit. I discovered the
thrill of letting other people read the silly stories I wrote. Their reactions
were interesting to watch, and I felt the fuzzy feelings one could get if
someone actually liked something you created.
But anyway, I am trying to get my reading spree back. Those
encyclopedia collections I have? I haven’t finished reading them yet. My goal
is to fully explore it by the end of summer.
What’s in it for the Nothingale? A lot, actually. For me,
reading can be a powerhouse for inspiration. At the end of every passage, my
mind savors the new knowledge like a piece of candy. From there, new wonders
burst like geysers.
A while ago, I realized something else in my personal self.
Reading actually relaxes me.
So, yay! Plenty of stuff for this bird to sing about! (Or
let’s say, rant about)

Do you also like to read, flock mates? What do you think of
encyclopedias?
Never stop the thirst for learning ~
