Stories are like mirrors that catch light in strange ways, you know? They can show you what you already hold inside, but sometimes they only show the part of you that’s ready to look. If you stare too long at a picture you might miss the background – the parts that lie deeper than the plot. So read, but don’t let the story define you; let it simply point you toward the corners that need a little more attention.

It’s easy to get lost in the bright headline and forget the hush that lies beneath. Think of a book as a lantern: the light shows the path, but the darkness is where the most interesting shapes hide. When you pause to feel that quiet, you often find the real story waiting.
