I feel this so much.
Stories have a quiet way of becoming part of us, especially when real life does not give us the examples we need.
Sometimes a character’s courage stays with you like a small light, and years later you realize it helped you keep going.
“This person didn’t give up, so neither will I” is such a powerful way to describe what reading can leave behind.
I’m so sorry for the scare 😅
I’m still here, just quietly turning a new page with the name change.
And I’m really glad you found me again. Your words mean a lot.
Also, Ascendance of a Bookworm is such a comforting rabbit hole. The anime captures the heart of it so well, but the novels have all those tiny details that make the world feel even more alive. I hope you enjoy the rest of the climb 📚
