Random people

Random people you see on the street. I notice them. I describe them. I document them. So, here they are, I hope it will be nice to meet them.

My name is Raya, I live in the Netherlands and I am (becoming) a writer.

Read to escape

Living has never been her thing. Life has a way of making her feel anxious and bored at the same time. What is her thing? Reading. Reading provides her with all the escapism she needs and she needs plenty. Her little apartment is probably stacked with books. Old, secondhand books, she has collected over the years. Food and books, that’s all she ever spends money on. Sometimes she feels a deep sadness thinking about all the amazing books that will be written, and maybe published, after she has died. Thinking about all the wonderful books that are being written right now all over the world, makes her happy she still has sixty years of life ahead of her, statistically that is, to read them all. Any other moment those sixty years just seem like a huge hurdle she would rather not take. Reading is the only activity that doesn’t scare the living hell out of her. To her, every book contains a different planet, a different world. A filled bookcase is a universe. No one can tell you how to live your life, stranger. Reading is living too.
