Everyone dreams of escaping from the reality and living in a fantasy world. As a child I also wanted myself to transport in a dreamy wonderland. For me, books opened up the doors of this wonderland. Books created a magical gateway to the world of magic, mystery, wild imagination, adventure and love. In no time, books became my comforting zone and whenever I felt lonely I always had a book beside me. Every day I transformed into a new character and a new adventure would begin. One day I would be a wacky mad hatter from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, another day I would be in Hogwarts as Harry Potter and on some days I would be a cute little cuddly bear Winnie the Pooh. Books took me to the places that I never dreamt of.
Books indeed gave wings to my imagination and became my best friend. For an introvert like me, books became a best friend that every other person always wanted to have who can be their guide, philosopher, secret keeper and entertain at the same time.
They never questioned or complained. They made me think about others’ feelings and appreciate the world and its beings in a different light. Books intrigued me. They induced strong feelings in me and kept me on edge until the very end. Books lightened up my mood whenever I felt lonely, sad or depressed. Slowly, the smell of a new book always attracted me more and more to itself.
According to me, books are an ocean of treasure, full of a precious commodity and the best part is that books never lose their value. The information provided in books remain evergreen, no matter how many times anyone has used the ideas of it, it never gets old, it never diminishes it’s worth. Books make you much wealthier than anyone else in terms of knowledge and wisdom.
Lastly, I would like to say that if you are feeling alone or you have no such friends whom you can trust then it’s high time to get into a friendship with books. Books won’t leave you or betray you, instead will always add up something to your knowledge and will make you a successful person. Books will make you laugh and cry while letting you find the real meaning of life.
