Reading is a favorite past time for some individuals, there is simply something to it that makes it so addicting and enjoyable. Might be the suspension of disbelief that makes one falter to exist in reality and drown in to a fictional content. They say that with every book you read, the less you want to exist in a place bound by rules or the impossible. Like books about suspenseful romance, as the characters intertwined in a dangerous mysterious environment they end up falling for each other.

Realist would say that it is impossible to fall in love with someone, when your life is in danger. Because in reality love takes time, time to get to know the person and time to accept his or her flaws. And that is not something that can happen if you are being chased by man eating snakes. However, in a world where love seems to be in a difficult state, with all the insincerity, secrets, lies and deceptions.

Some individuals these days are so hang up with the thought of social validation. If not feeding their social media accounts with vanity their out looking at other people who have better lives, people who have travelled across the globe, people who are enjoying utmost material luxury. With all these online activities, one would eventually end up in self pity.

And once in a while do not charge your phone grab a book instead, stay indoors and let you mind run free as you go through every chapter, as you suspend all your disbelief and go wherever the story takes you too, whether it takes you to a place where people study wizardry, to a mythic past in middle earth or to a place where animals can speak and knight and dragons exist.

Reading suspense, romance, action, mystery novels gives one the luxury to slow down. Take some time to fully digest the theme, the scenes, and all the impossible aspects the novel contains.

What is the first step to being satisfied, the answer to that is make time for yourself, try reading a book, and you might fight it interesting, even addicting, in a good way. In every story there is a moral to be learned, and in every moral that you learned, you get to become kinder, having that better grasp and understanding towards life and the people that surround you.

Of all the luxury that people these days lack, is the luxury to make time for something recreational, everyone is chasing after time, and if they are not doing so, they are either checking someone else life through social media or posting something online desperately in need of validation from other people.

The question the might be circling your mind at this very moment is that, why should I take up a book and start reading, when I could just watch a movie and snap some picture saying movie date with myself.

Enjoy a sip of brewed coffee and let your mind blow you away. In ways that you could not imagine, there is magic in reading, not the kind that will allow you to move object around the house, but the kind that will make you happy. And happiness is a luxury only few people these days can afford.
