I feel a comfort at libraries

It may seem odd

The fact that I want to spend hours on end just in a library

But I feel a safety around borrowed books like no other

As if being around the words of creative authors gives me extra air to breathe

It makes me feel like I finally belong somewhere

I look around the aisles and see stories from people all around the world

It gives me inspiration to read a million made up universes that have been created

Or a million real stories of people that were once walking this earth

I’m standing here in between them all

I’m absolutely mesmerized

Mesmerized In the same way I am when I see the different colors of the sunset stretching across the sky

I can’t imagine a more magical place to be

Wandering the building

Reading previews of the most enchanting

Heartbreaking

Beautiful

Worlds that people have created

I will forever get lost in the silence and the mystery of libraries

I will forever walk inside these doors and feel as if this is where I’m meant to be

I will forever need books the way the trees need the sun
