Books are an escape

I love to read romance books. Fantasy, historical or contemporary. I don't really care. As long as it engages my mind and heart, I will read repeatedly.

Books are my ultimate escape. I yearn for what I lack by seeing it come to life on pages. Seeing characters live and struggle in ways that I never could.

Especially where love is concerned.

I love reading about two people who fall madly in love and cannot live without each other. They become so closely intertwined, it's almost an obsession. They feel such overwhelming passion that they cannot stop making love. They will never stray away. There is no one else for them to love except each other.

How often does this happen in real life? Rarely. And perhaps, it's for the best.

How much pain are you inviting into your life by loving someone like this? It's not healthy. Human beings are so malleable. Is it even possible to be in love with someone like this and never falter? Maybe, maybe not.

But that's what makes it so compelling.

It's what makes life worth living. Whether it's falling in love or simply loving, the more people you have the happier you will be. There are no words to describe the strength you possess when you have many people who desire the best for you.

The foundation of love is concrete. Even when you fall down, they will not let you remain there.

Life is so cruel, if you chose not to find love, what other remedy is there? Why would you even want to live? What is there to live for?
