Thanks J.K Rowling, thanks for the Harry Potter series. Thanks for the wonderful characters in them, thanks for Harry Potter and Hermonie Granger and Ron Weasley and all. My life couldn't move on without reading the last book and I isolated (well, almost) myself to indulge in the wonderful book, stopping only to re-read parts whereby I fail to comprehend. The emptiness, it sucks. There will never be a series as great as this, how every single action has a 'logical' reasoning to it and how everything falls into place; it will never be replicated.

Just reading about a certain 'person' being so courageous even in the darkest hour and still be able to hear his own voice, albeit with some help from compatriots, has taught me a million gazillion things I'd never thought could be derived from a single action. Like what Marianne Williamson says, "And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same." The power of bravery and how it can affect all those around us.

I remember when I was in Primary 3 and my brother was just starting out in secondary school. He'd come back from school and set about doing his E Math homework on Algebra. And I sat at the opposite end of the table thinking that someday I'm gonna be famous for writing my own laws on Algebra. Didn't really work out did it? Well, in a way, I did somewhat wrote my own Algebraic laws. That's how I ended up failing E Math horrendously in lower secondary. Yea, we all have our lofty standards that we wish to achieve right from the moment we cried our way into the world. At this age though, our goals are never staring at us at the end of the tunnel.

I miss those days in my mummy's tummy. In total solitude, I could think of everything and anything I wanted, and when I got excited, I'd just 'kick' my mummy to tell her of my plans to make her proud when I got out into the world. Oh those days, away from sins and all this "strangers." But I'll never give up hope, on finding my purpose, which seems to keep refocusing to a different area of my life every other day. Bet on it that whatever quest I undertake, it'll be for the Greater Good of mankind. All is, and will always be, well.
