25 Things All Book Worms Can Relate To

Being a book worm has its ups and downs. Reading books transports you into a different dimension and gives you a new way to look at life. You can dive into the world of the elves or find romance in a romantic novel. No matter what you read, literature is beautiful and it's amazing to see what someone can create using an alphabet consisting of twenty six letters. On the other hand, the emotional withdrawal from finishing a book is hard to get over. I mean, how do you move on after you’ve just placed yourself into a world that isn’t entirely yours? That’s right, you don’t. Not to mention that having a lot of books means that you're going to need a lot of space. Having a dirty room is one thing, but having a room full with books is another.

Reading books upon books is a task many people do not enjoy. There are plenty of people who hate to read and not enough book worms. It’s a popular opinion to find reading boring but to those who enjoy to read, it’s an escape from reality and a wonderful experience. As with any other hobby, being a book worm is a full time job but definitely an enjoyable one.

Here are 25 things all bookworms can relate to.

  1. Finding something to read stresses you out.
  2. Even then, going to book stores is your paradise.
  3. You spend all your money on books.
  4. You have books you haven't read but you still buy more.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
