Date a girl who reads

Date a girl who reads.

Date a girl who reads.

"Date a girl who spends her money on books instead of clothes. She has problems with closet space because she has too many books.

Date a girl who has a list of books she wants to read, who has had a library card since she was twelve.

Find a girl who reads. You’ll know that she does because she will always have an unread book in her bag.

She’s the one lovingly looking over the shelves in the bookstore, the one who quietly cries out when she finds the book she wants.

You see the weird chick sniffing the pages of an old book in a second hand book shop? That’s the reader. They can never resist smelling the pages, especially when they are yellow.

She’s the girl reading while waiting in that coffee shop down the street. If you take a peek at her mug, the non-dairy creamer is floating on top because she’s kind of engrossed already.Lost in a world of the author’s making. Sit down. She might give you a glare, as most girls who read do not like to be interrupted. Ask her if she likes the book.

Buy her another cup of coffee.

Let her know what you really think of Murakami. See if she got through the first chapter of Fellowship. Understand that if she says she understood James Joyce’s Ulysses she’s just saying that to sound intelligent. Ask her if she loves Alice or she would like to be Alice.

It’s easy to date a girl who reads. Give her books for her birthday, for Christmas and for anniversaries. Give her the gift of words, in poetry, in song. Give her Neruda, Pound, Sexton, Cummings.

Let her know that you understand that words are love. Understand that she knows the difference between books and reality but by god, she’s going to try to make her life a little like her favorite book. It will never be your fault if she does.

She has to give it a shot somehow.

Lie to her. If she understands syntax, she will understand your need to lie. Behind words are other things: motivation, value, nuance, dialogue. It will not be the end of the world.

Fail her. Because a girl who reads knows that failure always leads up to the climax. Because girls who understand that all things will come to end. That you can always write a sequel. That you can begin again and again and still be the hero. That life is meant to have a villain or two.

Why be frightened of everything that you are not? Girls who read understand that people, like characters, develop. Except in the Twilight series.

If you find a girl who reads, keep her close. When you find her up at 2 AM clutching a book to her chest and weeping, make her a cup of tea and hold her. You may lose her for a couple of hours but she will always come back to you. She’ll talk as if the characters in the book are real, because for a while, they always are.

You will propose on a hot air balloon. Or during a rock concert. Or very casually next time she’s sick. Over Skype.

You will smile so hard you will wonder why your heart hasn’t burst and bled out all over your chest yet. You will write the story of your lives, have kids with strange names and even stranger tastes. She will introduce your children to the Cat in the Hat and Aslan, maybe in the same day. You will walk the winters of your old age together and she will recite Keats under her breath while you shake the snow off your boots.

Date a girl who reads because you deserve it. You deserve a girl who can give you the most colorful life imaginable. If you can only give her monotony, and stale hours and half-baked proposals, then you’re better off alone.

If you want the world and the worlds beyond it, date a girl who reads.

Or better yet, date a girl who writes."

Its been awhile since i post or write something over here and It felt amazing to write again. I apologise for my delay of posting a new blog just because of some reasons that involved my hand and some school stuff plus "I DO HAVE A SOCIAL LIFE" anyway so this past few weeks or so months I've been hanging out with my friends like everyday and since then i haven't visit my blog and I can see a lot of request from my ask fm which I don't answer not because I don't like answering that kind of stuff but because you know the jackie phrase? 'I'm too lazy to do it maybe next time' yeah? and I hope you don't find me rude or 'big head' just because i don't answer all your question maybe next time when I feel hyper or I'm on a sugar rush :) *laugh* 

I really like to update you guys on whats been happening to my life lately and first I read books like a lot and you guys probably know that since I've been discussing it with my previous blog so anyway I have like 60 books and I haven't finish reading like 5 books so its quite a lot for someone lazy as me but nevermind the lazziness reading is what makes me happy and when summer starts I will be busy like B U S Y for a project which I might blog ;) but don't get too excited about it haha.

Basically this post is about books (duh captain obvious) and no guys I'm not pointing myself as a 'you should date a girl who reads', I think boys/guys don't really find a bookworm attractive or nice to date because they will 'smart talk' to them like about fictional things that mostly happen on books but you know what? who cares? a girl who reads are one of the coolest and smartest one, they give you a fantasy and reality at the same time because they've read it themselves, they know what love is even without experiencing it, they know how things will work without saying anything about it and they know how you feel just by your action because they feel it too just by reading a book which worth a thousand feelings. 

As a bookworm I feel happy everyday as I continue to read books that takes me to another world (which some of you find weird), It really makes me happy whenever I purchased a book even though I haven't opened it or read it because at the time I saw THAT book I know  it will intrigue my whole feelings towards the story and characters inside those papers that opens to another world. I have said this on my previous blogs, I have a list of 'Fictional Characters I fell in love with' and theres a lot of fictional characters I want to marry and be read but "Perfect boys only exist in books" *big sigh* I know guys I know how it feels when you fall in love with a fictional character as you read the book but then realising that they're not real and will never be *virtual hug for you all* 

Those who know me well enough to know I love reading as much as I love books and Cats and Strawberries *face palm* I know you guys find me weird and thats ok because I take that as a compliment so don't be shy to say I'm weird *evil smirk*. I love reading because it takes my sadness and loneliness away its what makes me happy and get me through the day, you learned something in it, in every books theres a lesson, you can take that lesson everyday and it will help you get through hard times, I'm telling you :) books are my best friend and as I grow older I want to write a book with my whole feelings in it as I became a grown up woman with a passion on writing and reading. 

This has been a good day to me and I feel really, really happy about this post because I share a passion with you guys and its been a pleasure to keep you as a reader of my blog, It really overwhelmed me when I saw like 3,000 views on my dashboard I was like 'OMG NO WAY NO WAY I'M WEIRD? HOW DID THIS HAPPENED?" and you don't wanna hear the rest of it but I really am thankful for you guys I hope you find something that you know you will take as you grow older. THANK YOU GUYS ILY :*

(I LOVE THE LUMINEERS I HOPE YOU GUYS LOVE THIS SONG AS MUCH AS I DO)
