reading books, like playing VideoGames ?
Heey !
You may see the title and go; « What ?! Is she insane ? »
Well, no. not yet.. I’m sure we all had instances where some people just couldn’t understand our love for books (and maybe judge us a little while being there).
Well ! This is what i’m writting this post for, to hopefully give you some fuel to help them understand, at last!
You surely know this by now, but I am also an adept of playing videogames. Therefore, I am certified to say this. ahah! 😘
I find there’s a correlation between my books and my videogames; in fact, they sometimes serve the same purpose. Not only is it an hobby of ours, but we like to do them for specific reasons, which is when things are very similar. What does thoses might be ?? Well, sometimes to feel we belong somewhere, to relax simply and purely, or even to skip all this “life bullshit” and not think of that stuff for a while.
How we deal with that is to each their own, but the feelings are the same. All of thoses are answered, but also, it’s something we can use to communicate and interact with others and sometimes we can even do it together (buddy reads, read to a child, etc.)
Now If you were to explain it that way to someone who just don’t understand; you’d think it would help them figure it out, don’t you ?
It could be anything else, But for some reason it’s books that give it to us in our case; The thing is not what hobby we have, but rather how it makes us feel significantly better and respond to all thoses needs we have for it.
What do you think of my theory ? Does it make sense ?
Anyone else is also a fan of videogames ?
