Read (adj.) – Having Knowledge Gained by Reading: My Favorite Kind of Person

library-b-wIf you wonder what I mean by that, allow me to explain: you’re unique, one of a kind. You’re just as unique as your fingerprint is. You have your own history and background, life experiences, hopes and dreams just like any of us, desires and expectations, problems and solutions, and the list could on. AND you’re well-read. You love to read, and gain knowledge and meaning from it. That makes you my favorite kind of person, simply put.

So tell me this: how do you distance yourself from… stuff? What do you do when you just feel like you need to put everything on pause (have you seen the movie “Click”?), when you just need a break from your day to day life, or when you simply want to relax? If you’re a reader, and I know you are because otherwise you wouldn’t be here, you can use that power and let it guide you into new worlds where anything is possible. I call it a power, yes, you read that right. Because it lets you access someone else’s brain (I bet you never thought about it that way, have you?), it lets you dive into imaginary worlds you love or love to hate, it teaches you that others feel just the same way you do even if their experiences are different, it does show you that anything is possible.

You haven’t answered me yet. What do you do? You pick up a book (do you love the smell of newly printed pages as much as I do?) or, if you prefer reading through other means, you pick up a device. Then you quiet your mind and you let it wander, instead, into someone else’s. The writer’s.

That’s where I come in. I like to write. No, let me correct that. I LOVE TO WRITE. It’s my own way of distancing myself from everything. And I use you, my reader, as inspiration. I use your life, your experiences, your dreams and hopes, your feelings, even the way you look. So then, why not get together and see what we can accomplish? My job will be to write for YOU. And your task, if you accept it, will be to read. That’s all. What can be easier than that? Between the two of us, hopefully a peaceful space is born to foster, once again, your hopes and dreams.

So go on, don’t be shy, click on something and start reading. If you don’t like it, tell me why. If there’s something wrong with it, tell me what you think it is. If you have an opinion, feel free to share with me and with the world. If you do like what you read, tell me that as well. If you want to read something different, by all means, please do tell me *pleading and begging*. I won’t be able to do my job right without you telling me how to improve. I’m not kidding, I really need your help:)

If you like reading something way longer than a short story, try my novel. It’s FREE. You can download it in pdf. format on your computer and take your time with it. You can find it under the Bookshop tab. I hope you like it. I know what you’ll think when you see the title. I promise you the old saying is true: “Don’t judge a book by its covers”. Well, in this case, by its title:)
