Reading books to me is an escape from my world. It shows me a different world. A world that may be real or may not be real. A world where characters go through different events and every single one of them I always learn a lesson from what they go through. The lesson may be intentional or not but it makes me realise just how much I still need to know. 

Writing a book or a story is different though. It's different because it's ME that's controlling my characters' world. And I also want to use this world to reach out a message to the world. I want to give what I've learn through stories and hopefully, people will learn something from my stories the same as I learned from books.
