"Don't you think you are being read by books as well when you read them," Well, that's what someone said to me and it made me wonder that yes, I guess they do read us in a way.

Not something only bookish people can relate to, just an example.

When you read something or talk to someone over texts or write etc! You smirk, you laugh, you smile, you get annoyed, you give an eyeroll, you get angry. These things to what you react in a way might be or can be your readings.

Words have so much power over us, you feel those things just by something which you read or which are said and they immensely take over you.

"Words are thorns, words are healing portions. You decide, which sweet menace will be your ocean." ~ Me

You decide, what you want to feel according to it and it's okay you are the one with control. But, you can't deny the fact that few words stay in your mind in spirals and it's a constant open tab in your brain rethinking and repeating over and over again like a chant. You either feel the things, and when you are done feeling you take it positively or you let it slide and trigger you once in a while.

When I read a book, the book reads me.

"Maybe we got lost in translation, Maybe I asked for too much," ~Taylor Swift (All too well)

I literally get lost in translation and the lucidity, the flow of the words which makes me want to complete the book at once. What I am trying to imply is, when we do read, the book reads our emotions, the ones which are just kept in mind, the ones where you think it's understandable, the translation we are searching for? Or where you think it's too much to be understood. No it isn't.

You cannot translate your soul your whole life, one is I want to understand please make me and one is where you just keep trying and you are just lost in a loop and questioning your own will.

Be it a text, be it a call, be it a person or a role model. I hope you feel all those things you are running from. I hope you feel and come back stronger. I hope you let a book read you (in form of a person) and be lost in your translation. Even if it's not something you want or need and I am sure you'll be just fine without all this but I hope you don't miss out on this feeling of being understood genuinely.
