oh to be loved like a habit and not a chore. oh to be loved because loving you is their default state of being and not something they have to perform like a duty. ohh to be loved because they don't want to live a life where loving you doesn't exist.
oh to be loved truly.

I finished reading the secret history written by donna tartt. After 2 months of flipping over its pages day by day , some sending me a shock , some a wave of surprise and dissapointment , some transferring joy and delight. This was a 600 page read and for some reason the idea of reading the last 50 pages at one time seemed very stimulating. The moment i finished reading the book , i just stared at the wall for a minute , trying to process that this journey has finally ended and it made me feel some inexplicable emotions which i hadn’t felt in ages. It made me forget all my life and my surroundings , took me to Hampden (setting in the book) and landed me back, smoothly without me noticing the sweet transition escaping my monotonous life to an intoxicating and charming world (it wasn't really , but to maintain the flow)
I realised later, this is what reading is, what reading meant to me and how i had longed for the sensation surge until this moment.
i need to read fiction and fantasy novels again.

I am all in a sea of wonders. I doubt; I fear; I think strange things which I dare not confess to my own soul. –Bram Stoker
