Books

When I was younger, the thing my mom used to tell everyone she met was that I was an introvert, that I could sit still with a book in my lap for hours on end. Now, that sentiment is different...I can still sit still for hours on end, but with my laptop instead of a book.
Things have changed so much since I was little. 12 year olds are ridiculously "more mature" than what I used to be. They care more about their next boyfriend/girlfriend relationship than going home and reading a book, or watching their cartoons as soon as school is over. They swear more, they're not respectful, less healthy. I sometimes think that it's not just the kids' fault, but the parents.
But I digress.
I have a lot of books in my room, as well as there are numerous books in every room in our house. And there are books that I want to read. For example, my sister bought me the Hunger Games trilogy for my birthday, and I said that I'd read them during my break this winter...I haven't picked up a book since the end of school, except for the time when I bought a book for a friend's Secret Santa. My motivation for reading is almost non-existent. As much as I want to read the book, actually picking it up is the challenge. I find that things on the internet are more entertaining than reading a book. I think I'm becoming more fast paced than my younger self...And I don't like that change.
I know, everyone changes. But some things you wish stayed the same.
Love.
