    Ever felt down? Empty? Lost? Sweetheart, that's completely normal. We've all been there, done that. There ain't a compass or a handbook to life. There is literally, no guide! We're all strays. But-tah, some of us stray onto right paths. Others to their detriment. Some of us, have things all planned out. And these plans actually work out! Contrarily, others encounter disaster: the more they plan, the more they fail. We all have coping mechanisms. We all have a go-to, a stress-free. Some of us rant. Some rave. Some rage on a punching bag. Some cry. Some sleep. I do much of the above. But I prefer to read. Read a good ole book. A novel, a comic, my Bible, poetry. Reading, calms the mind. Reading, heals the soul. Reading, nurtures the brain. It drowns pain: by immersing you into new worlds, other dimensions. Seriously, juste_lisez. And immerse yourself into the piece of literature. Breathe it, feel it, eat it. Become intimate with it! Stop whatever you're doing, right now, or is about to do. And... Juste_lisez, maintenant amour! Disclaimer: I never said it was a novel. Wattpad did! Follow me on Instagram @Juste_lisez :)
