Evolution Of a Reader
#1 The Girl in Room 105
It's been many days since I have posted. I don't know what to post now. A few weeks ago, I wrote about the Evolution of a Writer—my journey of stepping into the world of writing. If u guys haven’t read it, you can press the above link to read it.
But before a writer is born, there’s always a reader.
And today, I want to share my evolution as a reader, which eventually led me to writing.
My reading journey began with a fiction novel:
Book 1: The Girl in Room 105
Published in 2018, this book was the very first one I bought for myself on my birthday. It’s been my little tradition to buy a book every birthday. But to be honest, until then, I had never actually completed a book in my life. So, for two years, that book just sat on my shelf, untouched.
Then came 2020 the year of the pandemic, lockdowns, and, for me, insomnia. I got so addicted to my phone that my sleep cycle completely broke. In search of a solution, I came across two options:
Meditation
Book Reading
I knew meditation wasn’t my style, so I chose the second option. That’s when I remembered the book quietly waiting for me for two long years. And, by a strange coincidence, on my birthday in 2020, I finally opened it.
From that day, everything changed. Page by page, my interest grew deeper. Within a month, I had finished it the first book I ever read completely. And that month remains the best sleep I’ve had in my life.
That experience made me realize something important: reading doesn’t make you bore; it makes you better. It nourishes your mind, heals your thoughts, and, in my case, helped restore my peace.
I thought of writing about every book I’ve read since then, but I feel each one deserves its own post. So, this is just the beginning of my “reader’s journey.” See you guys’ next week with another post about another book.
