And yes, I am guilty of it but I think I know why I do it. (sic). Shefali went on to explain that books serve as a source of comfort during difficult or emotionally overwhelming days. She said, Because life will have its slacks. There will be days when emotions feel too heavy, feelings feel too loud, or everything just feels a little meh. And on those days, I know I have a friend waiting for me. A story I haven't met yet. A world I can disappear into for a while.
