In a world that moves faster every day, reading remains one of the few activities that lets us slow down — and wake up at the same time. Whether it’s fiction, non-fiction, poetry, or even a technical manual, reading expands the mind while anchoring the soul.
Books are more than stories or facts. They’re conversations with people we’ve never met, bridges to times we’ve never lived, and tools that sharpen how we think, speak, and understand the world.
Some days, I read to escape. Other days, I read to understand. But always, reading reminds me that I’m not alone — someone, somewhere, has thought these thoughts before.
Whether it’s five pages or five chapters, keep reading. You never know what sentence might change your day — or your life.
