My One Thing I Can't Imagine My Day Without

The one thing I cannot imagine my day without is reading my ebooks. Reading has always been an important part of my life since my secondary school days that if I spend a few minutes without reading a book my day would feel less productive and meaningful. I read more of fictional books than non fictional books but I do enjoy reading all books.

One special memory related to ebooks was when I first discovered that I could easily download books online as physical copies are quite expensive. With this knowledge I could easily carry my books along with me inside my phone and it also increased my reading hours. Even though, nothing can beat physical copies because you get to smell the books, make bookmarks, highlight where was so captivating, turning the pages and feeling each pages with your hand which also has a different feel to it.

Being introverted really fueled my passion for books even more. I spend hours reading fictional novels because I enjoyed getting lost in different stories forgetting about reality for a while and just embracing the fictional world because life is just so easy in that world. When I need a balance and reminder that real world is different from fiction I switch over to productive books , motivational and inspirational books.

While scrolling on social media, I came across this book called Atomic habits by James clear and it really helped me become focused on my personal growth and improvement. It made me realize that reading could help me develop new skills, build better habits, and think differently about my future. Reading has also built my vocabulary alot. Since then, I have made reading a daily habit, and it has changed the way I see learning. Few fictional books I've read include Fourth wing, Archer's voice, pride and prejudice among others.

If ebooks disappeared from my life for a week, my daily routine would feel incomplete. I would miss having a source of knowledge, inspiration , a way to cure boredom and loneliness whenever I had free time.

For these reasons, reading ebooks is something I cannot imagine my day without. It helps me learn, grow, cure boredom and also stay motivated to become a better version of myself.

I want to thank @elsa-queen for another wonderful contest and a way to express myself in depth. I hope you have a wonderful read and enjoy my story.

I invite @paholags, @jewelking and @alexanderpeace to partake in this contest.
