It's been a while since we've seen you, our dear readers.

The Characters We Pretend We’re Not

Every November, Reading Month shows up again with the usual book corners, library contests, and teachers reminding us (for the hundredth time) to read more. But if you look past all the noise and decorations, there’s something more personal hiding underneath it all. How stories somehow mirror parts of us, even if we don’t admit it.

Whether we say it or not, every reader has that one character they quietly relate to. Maybe it’s the awkward kid who ends up saving the world even though they can barely survive their own problems. Maybe it’s the villain with a sad backstory that no one bothers to understand. Maybe it’s the girl who wants a calm, normal life, but life decides to throw her into the spotlight anyway.

These characters feel familiar because in their fictional struggles, we find bits of our own. We recognize ourselves in their bravery, their mistakes, their loneliness, or their hopes, even if we don’t talk about it.

Reading Month tells us to pick up books and explore different worlds, but it doesn’t always remind us that we’re living out our own stories too. We’re the drafts full of scribbles, the plot twists no one sees coming, the chapters still unfinished. Every book we read leaves something behind, an idea, a feeling, a new way of looking at things.
A story isn’t just there to entertain us. Sometimes it teaches us something about the versions of ourselves we don’t show people. It helps us understand who we are slowly becoming. That’s the quiet magic of reading, it makes us meet ourselves without even realizing it.

So as Reading Month moves along, don’t just search for a book to kill time. Look for the one that makes you think, or makes you feel something, or reminds you of yourself in ways you didn’t expect. Those are the ones that stay with you. Those are the ones that matter. Eventually, those are the stories that help shape the next chapters of your own.
