I have never been anybody’s person.
I have never been the first thought in someone’s head.
I have never been the person that is thought of during a particular part of a movie or song
I am the person that is only invited when plans go awry
I am the friend that gets invited when no one else is available
I am the last resort
So until someone is lonely enough, I will hold my book and be brought along on an adventure.
I will hold my book and feel first hand a character’s perception and live through them
I will read because the characters don’t live until I’ve seen their story
They actually need me, unlike the real people in this world who don’t even notice me until they’re bored.

It’s fun and I like fictional stories.
That’s why I like physical books. You can hold them in your hands and relive the memories inside them like you were there. I’m sorry that you know this feeling too.
