My life has been always at a fast pace. I don't have time to think about myself, to go out with my friends and I don't even have the time to find love. But even with my life going at a fast pace I always find time to read books. Reading books makes me escape reality for a while, be on my own world inside my head. The characters in the stories I always read have a perfect story and that always ends happily ever after. I wish reality can be that simple. or maybe a simple wish of mine may come true.
I've always been working hard.
Waking up early
Take a bath, eat and then catch my 6 am train but if I'm unlucky and get stuck in a long line of people getting tickets for the train then I'll have to catch an 8 am train and sprint through 4 blocks just for me to arrive in my office on time.
OR maybe I just can hail a taxi, sit prettily and wait for my grand carriage (taxi) to take me to my destination but I'm too broke to afford a taxi fair every day! My budget can only afford train tickets.
Yeah, I'm low maintenance but if you're a person who only lives in a minimum wage even tho you work your a*s so hard you have to be practical in how to save money so you can survive every day.
But even tho my day is always been busy and constantly at a fast pace at the end of the day, there's one thing that inspires me to wake up and do this all over again.
That's my love for books,
Books let me escape from reality just for a while.
Be on my own world
Where I can decide what can I do to my life
Where I can I truly be the person I want to be
Or where I can feel a little bit of happiness.
I wish that if I have been given the chance to choose,
I'll choose to leave inside a romance book, where I'm the Main Character (MC) and a shining shimmering Male Lead (ML) will come, save me from my distress and will live happily ever after. As simple as that.
I know it may sound cringey but I'm too tired with my life.
I just want to have a happily ever after and live simply because in real life it will never be easy. I want to live in my own world.
Is that too much to ask.
