Falling in love with a person is very common and after all the melodrama, what you get is a few sweet memories and a lot of pain, irrespective of whomever you love.
I believe those who have gone through the different episodes (or rather I would like to rephrase it as the various stages of love) might have experienced what it is like.
In today’s world love is like changing your iPad when the latest model is launched.
When you feel broken in love you might try various means to get back to normal, may it be music therapy or spending time with friends, travel watching Instagram reels, or Facebook posts, it seems nowadays, there are plenty of options you have in your vicinity.
When I asked one of the elderly citizens about her lost love, I got an answer that those days, they used to read books after a breakup. Sounds boring?????
This is something you won’t believe. Falling in love with books or language is the best option you have when all the other options betray you.
Remember? How poems or a song can influence you? When you verify your deep-rooted emotions, it takes another form that closely resembles your beautiful side holding the crutches i.e.; the mighty words and then getting back to walking.
A few words that come from your heart can speak volumes.
It can touch the reader's heart and soul and keep him at peace with herself/ himself. Have you ever tried giving your thoughts a stage to play your part by wearing the attire of language?
It’s beautiful indeed.
Those who failed in love or are depressed with their life…try this out.
Fall in love with books because when the entire life goes beyond your guess and the whole world conspires against you, a book can be your most faithful friend just like a dog would be.
I don’t mean to say only those who failed in love or are depressed in life, should read a book.
Definitely not!
What I meant was, the power of language is unimaginable indeed. Fall in love with language.
You won’t believe it, you can see miracles happening in your life.
You can listen, write or read and be happy with your new companion, language.
Then you would understand that certain autobiographies, poems, motivational books, or even a novel can change your mindset and keep you at peace.
Once you continue the journey of reading, you would begin the quest for yet another beautiful book.
Chasing different books and not people, money, or happiness.
Have you ever wondered why some people are always drowned in sorrow?
They are always in a rat race.
Chasing people, money, position, power, love, fame, and whatnot...
If fallen down, it’s high time that you lift yourself up clinging onto a book.
It will no doubt raise you up to walk with confidence and contentment.
It will teach you how to keep yourself at ease and at peace. You will find your lost self.
Thus fall in love with language and it will teach to how to lead yourself to your destination.
