Issue 64: The (re)birth of a reader

How I choose what to read next - p. 2

The act of choosing what to read next - for me, at this point in my life - is an expression of self-awareness, self-acceptance and self-belief. When I pick a book, I am telling myself:

1. This is what you like, trust it OR

2. This is who you aspire to be, let it OR

3. This can be fun, too, you know.

In choosing this way, I breathe freely. There is no way to be wrong because allowing myself to like what I like, to feel what I feel and aspire to what I aspire is the ultimate freedom. Freedom to be ME is what guides me these days, in my reading life and elsewhere.
