Don’t get me wrong, I’m addicted to Facebook also and I scroll frantically on Instagram too, most of the times I draw my inspiration from the internet and because I work a lot and go to sleep late I only have time to read a few pages from a book per day.

Most of the people I know are sharing this situation and frankly it got me thinking:

Are the internet and social media the new books?

 .

Well, I surely hope they’re not! Because besides that inspiration and information you can find on the internet, daily you are also spammed with tons of crappy stuff . Your values start to change, your behavior starts to change, you start to think that you know so much that you might just be the next King Julian, but the truth is that slowly we’re giving up books and alongside with books, we’re giving up our ability to dream, to assimilate an information slowly, quietly and intimately. The kind of information that helps us build character.

I started thinking about this a few days ago when I received these books from Books Express – French Style and French Accents. Both related to style, simplicity, sophistication and refinement when it comes to our homes, personalities and behavior.

 .

My friend Diana put this introspection in the right words. She said that we should escape our current world from time to time, that we should enter the world of books because they are the ones that teach us to be loyal, to love beautifully, to live on emotions. And this is the real luxury because the art of being is the greatest luxury we can achieve.

I so swear that I’m going to check  Facebook just 3 times today and this evening I’ll be back to my pile of books that are waiting besides my bed to be read for months.

And because Books Express wants you to always remember that books are still valuable they want to make you a present –  a Moleskine notebook where you can write that every day – I personally would die if I didn’t have my notebook with all the to do’s written so this is such a handy gift, no?
