📚 Books That Made Me Who I Am 📚
I saw this trend where you go through the different stages of your life and pick the books you remember reading during each phase—early childhood, preteen, teenager, adult life—and I thought, why not do it too?
These books shaped me in so many ways. My love for reading goes all the way back to my childhood. By the time I was in 4th and 5th grade, I was even teaching kindergartners how to read. You’d always catch me with a book in my hand or tucked into my purse. That’s just who I’ve always been.
Over the past few years, though, I lost that part of myself. Life just… happened. But now, I’m so happy to say I’ve found my way back to it, and let me tell you—I’m never letting it go again.
Reading has been there for me through the hardest times in my life. It gave me an escape when reality felt too heavy. But it’s also been part of some of the best moments—those quiet times where I could just be me, lost in another world.
If you’re a reader, I know you get it. Books aren’t just stories—they’re lifelines, escapes, teachers, and friends. And for me, they’ve always been a reminder of who I am.
So tell me, what books shaped you? Let’s chat! 📖✨
