This is the first of a two-part series on the power of words.
People read for different reasons.
For some people, reading is work; for others, it's a hobby.
Sometimes, reading can cause something within us to shift; we might go from wanting to read to needing to read.
Our lives can suddenly - unexpectedly - become intertwined with the words on the page - and our experiences become things we might feel the need to share with authors we've never met.
