Certified Book Addict

I could not help it. I consciously chose books over buying a dress, over buying that blouse and those cute sneakers. I even forwent checking on some cosmetics to buy. When I went to the bookstore, I felt I was in a trance. I, without any second thoughts bought again books that I believe could help me as a person.

I am obsessed nowadays with books that have something to do with leadership. It all started when guess what? When I started to read Zig Ziglar's book "Better Than Good". He said somewhere along its pages that one should invest with what he or she was really passionate about. I have this feeling that I am passionate about kids, about leadership, about being a good person. One can see from my collections the things I am passionate about. I am also into writing so much, I am in love with words so it is just understandable that I have tons of books at home. And in our other house. Almost to a fault.

Now I feel guilty. Instead of just saving those money, I just buy those stuff. But the question is are they unnecessary? I am not sure for I believe sooner or later they will be of good use to me.

Funny but I would think and reconsider a lot when buying clothes, bags and shoes. I would look for the nearest cheapest price. But with books, regardless of the price, as long as I can afford it then I buy it. As long as it does not offend the other areas and needs of my life.

I am so in love with books. I am so into learning and accumulating knowledge. I think I am really becoming a geek as the days go by. But I love books. Simply as that. Sometimes, I find myself loving books more than boys. Most of the time, I find books more interesting and exciting than the opposite sex. Hehehehe...

Am I headed to spinsterhood because of my thinking? I hope not. Maybe my love for books is just a cover-up, like my own coping mechanism for until now I have not someone to love, as in from the opposite sex. Maybe, deep inside I think of books as boys. Or possibly vice-versa.

Anyway, I am just writing this stuff now for I don't want to lose these ideas swirling in my head right after I read a Reader's Digest. I will just rest myself from reading for a while but will be back later. Still, all I want to say is that I am so in love with books. Gosh! Talk about geeky moments.

If I would still have something to share again, most probably I will get back to you later.
