After fixing the dinner for 4, cleaning up the messy kitchen, I sat down with great satisfaction with a notebook on my tap. Melody brought me a bowl of cherries and collected all the waste and dumped them into trash can. We two then took turn reading a picture book.
Reading, even reading a picture book, for me has always been a rabbit hole through which I'm able to escape from my tedious personal problems. The empty feeling from deep inside leads to weakness and vulnerableness. Reading can fill the empty and make me stronger. By reading, I talk to all the greatest people once lived on this planet. I feel what they once felt, suffer what they once suffered and think what they once thought. They came into life again and again in my very own world and I don't feel lonely anymore. They guide me to overcome nasty and negative feelings and let me become more and more independent and free.
I have a very long list of books to read. I hope by the end of my day, I don't miss one single book and have no regrets for my whole life at all.
