What’s the first book you ever finished and still remember to this day?
Hey..
I hope all of you are doing well…!
I thought it would be a slow Sunday,
Thinking I’d go to sleep around 10 at night,
but,
I had to take my dog on walk,
and that 10 minute walk turned into an hour long chat with a friend and before I could look at the time it was already 11:20 at night…!
So,
I rushed home and cleaned my bed and fell asleep as I was tired,
waking up at 7 in the morning with a knee pain that surged as I went out on my morning walk…!
And after having muesli with milk for breakfast,
I took my multivitamins and it’s about time to go take a bath and then leave home for work…!
I got an idea of a story and I think I’ll be making part 1 of it this evening;
it’s about a guy who meets a girl under circumstances that aren’t ordinary and it makes her conscious about how she dressed as she was in a hurry and it began to rain,
but,
he knows that she might feel that way so he avoids her at first but things happen and they meet once again under different circumstances and they talk their heart out as strangers who won’t meet ever again…!
Coming back to the prompt
First book I read…!
The first book I ever read was complete works of Khalil Gibran..!
The first book which I bought after I read a few lines from the prophet which was handed over to me by my cousin sister as she was being married and her entire collection ended up with me which still to this day stays with me…!
I often found many answers that i had in life in this book and his was one of the first things i read which gave me perspective and opened my horizon;
Everything that I am today,
this thinking, even existing and the way I experience things it’s because of how I perceive this world which was in a way shaped by who I became after I read this collection…!
People around me told me that this was too much for me and what does reading gives me to them my answer was the same that it was back then;
It teaches me the way to live me life better by perceiving how the world revolves around me and how I can understand another person better by putting myself in their shoes…!
They were unknown to that fact back then and they are still unknown to it now…!
Khair..!
you cannot make someone understand something that their mind tells them is a waste of time…!
until then…!
keep you head high and try to incorporate atleast a few books in your life each year…!
Cheers 🥂
