The Value of Books

I’ve looked through my comments again in my content, and I kind of feel ashamed for venting about the claim culture, because I saw “I claim, thank you.” in a few comments. Perhaps they are misinformed by claim culture or following the crowd and I’ve never really addressed it. The “thank you” comments are more than enough for me. I’ve helped and gave a message that could help someone. I’ll try my best to be more aware of my emotions and temper. Especially when it comes to the not so nice people of the internet. My method for them would be to just delete their comments, block them, and move on. People like them don’t deserve a voice in my content. Luckily, I hardly encounter people like that. Just every once in a while. 

Today, I’m trying out a new series. I’m reading a mindfulness book called “You Are Enough.” I love the messages in the book. My weakness is that I buy so many interesting books that I want to read, but I never read them. I do something else or forget about them. I thought if I can make short videos of me reading them, I can finally knock two birds with one stone. Read them and make content. Who knows? Maybe people would like it and find it helpful. But if not, well, I’m finally reading the book! People have been loving the poetry series, so I have hopes that people will like the books I read too. 

Books and I have never mixed like this before. I suppose it’s because after my time alone in a foreign country and being illiterate, I have a newfound appreciation for books. I know what it’s like not being able to read. It’s hard and I felt stupid. I also loved reading to little kids. They’re ears perked up, eyes big. I felt like a performer as I read and acted out the characters in the children’s books. It was uncommon for me to read to them, but when I did, I took full advantage of it.
