Books Are Medicine for the Mind

I think I was named Belle for a very precise reason.

I was born to read. 💛💙

I find so much power in words. 

I find so much power in ink written on paper: how it takes a human being in a whole new world without moving an inch.

There's so much solace in reading a good book. 

It stimulates the mind, and it gives life meaning and purpose to continue.

As I grow up, I'm learning that there is just as much power in silence.

There is too much noise around us now. 

And the perfect companion for this new mindset remains the same: books

Books are my most loyal friends. It does not judge. It does not impose. It does not command. 

It is classic and timeless. 

Perhaps a good balance of speaking and listening is something all humans ought to master throughout our lifetime.

I dream of a world where talkers aren't silenced, and talkers learn to listen better.

Best wishes,
