a "thank you"
sometimes i just wish i could lay in bed all day and read. it's probably bad that i'm more interested in the lives of fictional characters than my own sometimes...but it's through them that i get to experience so many things. i've sailed down rivers with tom and huck, written poems with cyrano de bergerac, whispered secrets with elizabeth bennett, gone adventuring with robert langdon, fought to save the world alongside ender wiggin, commiserated with holden caulfield, traveled the galaxy with arthur dent, fallen in love with westley, learned from morrie schwartz, discovered the joy of creation from howard roark, flown with peter pan, laughed with anne shirley, been swept off my feet by rhett butler, suffered with edmond dantes, and celebrated my faith with the pevensies.
there are times when life just feels so big. bills, jobs, kids, relationships, credit, houses, cars, money, rent... it's a never-ending list of things that i can't seem to keep up with. there are so many things that i don't know about, things that i am not ready for, and things that i feel like i'll never understand.
so i guess this is a thank you to my friends in the wonderful world of books. thanks for understanding and giving me hope that someday my own life will be the one i really want to live.
