Paper Girl/Boy with a Paperback in a Paper Town

A Paperback. What can you remember when that word is being gabbed? Books right? Well it's quite different for me. . .

I'll tell you Miriam Webster's definition of it. A Paperback is a book with a flexible paper binding. For me, yes I also remember books with soft outer coverings but mostly, I remember people. People with no confidence, people who underestimates their abilities. People who have paper spines at their backs which enables them to look down all the time (as you can see, if paper can't hold much wait, they tend to bend down) because of their insecurities.

I remember once, I've read a book that my friend lend to me and the protagonist in the book described their place as a Paper Town with Paper Girls and Boys. At first I was not able to understand this quotation but as I began to read it all over again I finally understood.

A Paper Town is a place where people don't care about important things anymore. A Paper Girl or Boy is a person that doesn't appreciate life anymore. Just like paper, they get crumpled, torn and thrown away easily.

Back to paperbacks. As I've said, I feel like they're the ones who are afraid. When your on hallways, they're the people who walk with melancholy and looks down all the time. They are afraid to mingle with others because others might mock them. You can't blame them for being a Paperback, they might have an awful experience being mocked before. I just think they shouldn't be down all the times. They should learn to stand up straight with confidence and a smile because it always makes them feel better.

They can't be just a Paper Girl or Boy with a Paperback in a Paper Town forever.
