Ever said “I have plans” but really meant curling up with a book and escaping reality for a while? You’re not alone. Bookworms everywhere know that the real plans often involve faraway kingdoms, poetic heartbreaks, or time spent with a fictional soulmate.
“You’re coming tonight, right?”
“Sorry, I have plans.”
Internally: Chapter 16 ends on a cliffhanger and I must know what happens next.
We live in a world that’s constantly buzzing, demanding our attention. Reading, in contrast, is that rare form of stillness that doesn’t require Wi-Fi, likes, or noise. It’s personal. It’s yours. And it often teaches you more than any motivational reel can.
So why not glorify it?
📚 Here’s why your ‘plans with books’ matter:
- You’re investing in your imagination
- You’re building empathy through characters
- You’re choosing quiet over chaos
- You’re learning, healing, or laughing—on your terms
Reading is more than a habit—it’s a movement. Let’s normalize choosing a paperback over parties and a plot twist over small talk. You’re not antisocial, you’re in chapter 12, and it’s getting really good.
