my participation in Weekend-Engagement: WEEK 205
There are many activities in our lives that we enjoy doing in the company of other people, activities that we may not enjoy doing alone. These activities that we enjoy doing in company vary according to personal tastes and preferences. For me in particular, more than doing it alone, I like to go for walks, to eat, to exercise, and to go out to parties with my friends or family.
On the other hand, there are things that we enjoy doing alone and I want to talk about that today by answering the following question:
❤️-𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐨 𝐛𝐲 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟?-❤️
There are several activities that I enjoy doing alone as well as in company, depending sometimes on my mood. But there is one activity that I definitely enjoy the most only when I am alone and that is reading.
And the truth is that I love to read, I don't take it off even when I'm with other people. I know a couple of libraries in my city and I also have a small collection of books that I got as a gift a few years ago, as well as PDF's of books that I get on the web.
Reading, for me, is truly one of the most pleasurable activities in the world.
But honestly, although i love reading, i feel that having company while i read makes the experience a little different. this is because when i read i need a special concentration and i can only achieve this when i'm alone, as i like to immerse myself in reading for a long time and leave the world behind me.
I have been to libraries with friends before, but rather than reading with them we just browse through the books and talk about them or anything else. I have also gone to these libraries alone and there I can read a book that catches my attention for a while, but there can also be some interruption that makes me stop paying attention to what I read. That is why I like to read with even more privacy, that is, being alone in my house or, failing that, my family is there but busy with other things.
I am particularly strict about reading alone, as I like it to be over a long period of time.

but then:
how do I like to read?
My special routine for reading at ease is to lock myself in my room or sit comfortably in the living room, with a thermos of water to drink next to me and a quiet environment around me. There I can spend hours reading a book, and if the reading grabs me, I can also finish it in a single day.

this photo I took in a corner of a library I visited represents for me a good environment for reading.
