Harry Potter Quote!
Wow, its been awhile since I've done one of these, most of the time I focus on love and all that rot. Anyhow; I love Harry Potter! I am a massive Potterhead and very proud to be one! I frankly love this quote, I think J.K. Rowling is a literary genius, simply because she brought us these amazing books.
"Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure." I love that, because it's so true. It's a Ravenclaw quote, so even though I am generally annoyed by the house of Ravenclaw this would be the only thing besides Luna to ever really come out of that house that I really like.
I think, that you can be as tough as anything, but if you don't know how to use it, then what good is it? Wit, knowing how to get yourself out of trouble, just by talking, or coming up with something clever.
I know plenty of people who can do this, and frankly they are some of my best friends, so let me just tell you, there is nothing wrong with a house full of smarty pants, in fact they are quite entertaining! They are able to hold good conversations and challenge your thinking and such. They make the world seem interesting.
I am honestly, not the biggest fan of this house. I don't know why, but some of the people that can be sorted into this house, can be very.. well how should I put this, annoying.
(Small backstory, I, being a potterhead, tend to sort people into the Hogwarts houses. I know several annoyingly smart people, (Ravenclaws), some very brave people (Gryffindors) hard workers and genuinly good people (Hufflepuffs) Then there are people like me, quite nasty sometimes, but are generally resourceful, cunning, but with a sense of great ambition. if you couldn't tell I am a Slytehrin and I am very happy to be one.)
((Now if you can't tell from this post, I am a major nerd and I love to just show my knowledge of the topic.))
Anyways back the the topic at hand. RAVENCLAW; wit above all else, great trait, it really is, to be able to think lightly on your feet and to actually have that sense of knowledge that not many people do.
I love to think that Luna Lovegood was really the best representation of Ravenclaw, as scatterbrained as she could be, (ex. loosing shoes, dressing up, wearing strange glasses.) she really was the best ravenclaw, she knew what it was to be humble as well as intelligent, and she is one of my favorite people in all the books.
Anyways, long, (very long story short.) Wit, (in my opinion is much preferred) to being all braun, I would rather be friends with someone who can have a conversation with me, and MAKE IT INTERESTING! so thank you very much reading this very long (sort of long) post about my second least favorite Hogwarts house. As much as I love it.. (which I barely do) Luna was the only good thing to come out of it. because i mean come on people, even Ravenclaws own daughter gave Riddle the Diadem.. so heres to that. But, when I think of Ravenclaw, I think of the sweet little Luna Lovegood and how she basically made up for the whole house.

“And in that moment, I swear we were infinite.”
Such a great quote. (I think i start every post off like this.) but it's so true, it's an amazing quote, and it's so young and freeing. Like it's a quote for the young and the old, (but sorry, people, mostly the young.) The book where is is from, is one that has gained a lot of popularity in the last year, I don't know how many of you have heard of that little movie called.. "The Perks of Being a Wallflower"? Staring Emma Stone and Logan Lerman and Ezra Miller, well.. I still have yet to watch it, actually, it's sitting on my desk next to me while I type. But I did read the book.
Let me give you a basic idea of this book. It's about a boy named Charlie.(Played by Lerman) and he has just gone through a very devastating loss. his best friend Michael had committed suicide a couple months before the book started. Charlie is about to start high school as a fifteen year old freshman. (A little on the older side as I started high school as a very young thirteen year old. ((my birthday, by a cruel trick of the calendar, falls in early October. And I was put into school, destined to always be the youngest in my grade. And I'll come back to that.))
Charlie literally knows no one, so to cope with the anxiety of going into high school alone he starts writing to someone who no one knows, but charlie clearly feels comfortable talking to. He tells of the struggles that he knows he will face. He meets seniors, Sam (Played by Watson) and her stepbrother Patrick (Played By Miller). Charlie really realizes through the book that he is a young man and that he has a lot of growing up to do, he falls in love with Sam, even though she is older then him and about to leave for school.
Okay, now that you have the gist of the plot line I will explain why I actually picked the quote.
I picked this, because In a away, I think everyone is a charlie, we all have these huge traumas in our lives, they may not be huge things, like it might be.. bad grades, or trying to get your parents to understand you, or maybe its things like loosing a loved one, struggling with depression, anxiety and a big one, loving someone who doesn't love you back.
we all need to come of age. We all grow up, but some of us grow up with harder obstacles to climb over. I think for me, it's definitely been the age thing, I am one of the youngest in my class. I am a seventeen year old senior, who just turned seventeen a couple months ago. So, for me, I'm always looked on as I should be younger, or I shouldn't be with the grade that I am, but I think through hard work that i have proven that I am meant to be there. I am meant to be standing up there this year and and getting my diploma.
Now I wonder if your thinking "Well seventeen isn't very young for a senior." well it isn't, but when I started my senior year, I was that awkward sixteen year old senior. and that was the problem. I start school in september and my birthday is early October. So for me, when you have people saying that you're the baby of the class, it makes you just want to prove them wrong. sometimes the baby of the class can achieve more then the eldest.
I may not have a story like Charlie's, (and believe me, I'm glad it's not all true!) but I do understand that growing up today is hard work, we are faced with some many obstacles in our growing up. Whether it is.. drugs, depression, anxiety, or abuse, we still need to grow up. So be INFINITE. Be that person that can stand up and say they've beaten everything.

"You're off to Great Places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, So... get on your way!"
Dr. Seuss. I love this man. Um for someone who wrote children's stories (He is the reason I fell in love with poetry.) Anyways, back to the post.
I am a fan of tis book because... well it's a book about your future. Or what you'll make of it; maybe you'll sit at home with your parents for the rest of your life, maybe you'll get married and start a family. But, "Oh the places you'll go!" To quote the famous man, whatever you choose to do, I mean, "You're off to great places!" (I simply love this poem.)
Okay, so heres a tiny bit about me. I believe in what I like to call, the "Peter Pan Method." Living everyday like you're young, still wanting to fly away to spend the day with Peter. Even though we must grow up sometime, today certainly isn't that day. I plan on getting a tattoo behind my.. right ear, its a picture of the second star to the left and straight on till morning, as a reminder to me, to never get to old to have fun with the people I love the most. To play with my family, to laugh with my friends, to love with that childlike love, the unconditional love that will look at someone like they can do no wrong.
Now sadly, all those things that I aspire to do, don't always come true. I falter. I forget to have fun with my family, sometimes I don't always laugh with my friends. I certainly don't love all the time, I am human. Everything that I want, I need to work for; working for it, drives me to be a better person then I am.
"Congratulations!
Today is your day,
You're off to great places!
You're off and away!"
A lovely beginning stanza from the wonderful poet, this book, it's like a send off to the world. I am almost all grown up, almost eighteen years old. I don't want to grow up, if I could, sometimes I think that I want to still be twelve years old, waiting for Peter Pan to come and take me away. Waiting for my childhood to take place. I know though, that I will still be young, forever young, but now it's time to face the music and grow up a little.
"You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
In any direction you choose!
You're on your own. And you know what you know!
And YOU are the the guy who'll decide where to go."
When you grow up, you learn things, you learn everything fact. Everything that your parents have taught you. Everything that you have learned on your own. Everything that others have taught you. You have feet in your shoes, you can steer yourself. You grow up, then you move on, to face the big bad world on your own.
You, can control your future, because it's YOURS. No one can take it away.
"You're off to Great Places!
Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting,
So... Get on your way!

"We love the things we love for what they are."
Robert Frost. Beautiful line. I like poetry, however Robert Frost is not my favorite poet, I prefer the darker side of poetry such as Edgar Allen Poe, I think I just relate better to it, yes, that sounds silly, that I like darker poets, but I think they're more intriguing then a poet who writes about a tree blowing in the wind. When I write poems, they're generally about something I've gone through, I like to have a story about myself rather then just reading a puff piece about a flower petal. I like Emily Dickinson, but only some of her things. I want, when a reader reads one of my poems I want them to get a small glimpse into my life, not just my love of nature. (I like it, in concentrated doses, or when I'm with my friends, alone however, I do not like nature.)
Anyways, yes, I used a quote with love in it... AGAIN. (why you might ask? I wouldn't know.) I think love, because it's so foreign to me, is what makes it so interesting, so special so and unattainable. Because that what love is to me, love is unattainable. I push it away, so I'm not complaining about it. Love has this thing about it see, that when you do find something you love, it doesn't matter how flawed it is. You could love the most disgusting shirt in the world, but you still love it for whatever reason, it could've belonged to someone that you cherished of found to be special, or a wrapper from something that you had fun at, silly things, but I mean, you love what you love.
The heart wants what the heart wants. Or else it does not care at all. (I'm pretty sure that Emily Dickinson said that.) I mean though, it's true, its incredibly true. As much as I'm going to tell myself that I don't want to fall for anyone, my heart decides, my brain kinda just follows along with the rest of my body. I simply don't have a choice. I think that's one of the fun parts of being young, you can make mistakes, but still the rest of your body doesn't really understand what you've just done to yourself, all it realize's is that you'r happy and you seem to stay happy for a long enough time.
Love is a disease that poisons the mind and all reasoning along with it. (I said that by the way.) I mean it really is, then Paulo Coelho said "Love is a disease that no one wants to get rid of. Those who catch it never try to get better, and those who suffer do not wish to be cured." which I think is sooo true, (yes I just had one of those strange girl moments.) Love really is a disease, and it's that strange one that EVERYONE wants. Then there a couple who are like, 'well, no. I think being clear and happy is such a nice curse and a burden that I'll go with alone.' because when you're in love, you don't think clearly, I mean how many people don't look back on early years and think, 'wow, I am dumb, why did I like them? I don't know...? I am so much smarter now.' Everyone thinks like that, so if you're that weird person that DOESN'T think like that, then please, tell us your secret, because I would like to know the magic for happy living.
You can ask anyone who's actually in love that this question. "Would you change a thing?" Most of the time, they would look at their significant other, or think of them and say with a happy silly tone, "No, of course not." That's what everyone says, it's not just what I would say, (which I will never.) or friends of mine, I mean it's just the generic answer to that AGE OLD QUESTION...
anyways, we love the things we love for what they are. You love what you love, simple as that. I don't love it for something it's not, I won't love someone for something that they aren't. I want to look at someone, and know why I fell for them, normally when I do see someone, and I fall for them, I need to figure out the reason I fell for them. I don't just want to aimlessly fall for someone, I want to like them for them. I want to notice someone, but I don't just want to like someone to like them. I want to like them, because I see something/someone worth actually liking.

"Hope is a waking dream."
Aristotle! "Hope is a waking dream." what a quote, (I feel like I say that for everything. Well everything I pick is extraordinary.)
I, for not believing in love, I do believe in hope. Because hope is important, as much as we choose to believe that it's not anything of importance, we can base our whole existence off of hope. I read somewhere that hope can be necessary to our very being. Because it is, you subtract hope, you then subtract all the other important emotions that one needs to be able to function. Love, belief, faith.
"Do you know what I wish? Well I good wishing's no good either." Everything starts with a wish."
-Cinderella.
Yes I know I don't normally do a post with more then one quote. This is a two quote post. (Sherlock fans might get the reference.) Anyways (Geek girl moment.) Understand it, really understand how much we need hope, we need all the other emotions. Wishing however, is a huge one! As a child you wish, you base your entire life off of wishing for everything in the world. Like at Christmas, you WISH and you HOPE that you'll get everything you asked for. Same thing on your birthday, you may WISH your mother will have another baby so you can have another sibling. Things like that; then as you get older, you start to WISH for more realistic things, like getting good grades, or getting into a good school, having someone special that makes you feel special stuff like that. I mean it's true, you grow up and WISH and HOPE for more grown up things.
Okay, okay, enough with the bolding now, but really, I do like these quotes. Even for grown up people, they still hope for things, some things may be silly and stupid, but others are big and serious.
Either way, Hope is so big, wishing is so important; they are those childhood one never grows out of.

“I dream my painting and I paint my dream.”
Van Gogh! Oh such a lovely line, it really is beautiful, (to any Whovians that read this, I thought of you.) Anyways, Van Gogh, a lot of people know him as this troubled artist who brought us amazing paintings and then tragically died when he was in his late thirties. (Yes, very sad.) I think of him as someone who knew how to dream. Obviously he wasn't completely right in the head, he had a mental problem (which I couldn't find out what it was, don't worry I did my research for this post.) But from what I can deduce, its very similar to depression, which many people suffer from each and every day. He poured himself into his art, his beautiful, amazing, breathtaking art.
Reading up on Van Gogh, its an amazing learning opportunity, (take ten minutes and learn a little about this famous artist). I learned that even when he went to go and receive treatment for his illness he couldn't. Because he would feed of the other patients at the asylum. Making him even worse. He then went home and according to a friend, Emily Bernard, "he left his easel behind a haystack and went behind the chateau and fired a revolver shot at himself."
Wow that's mad, to fire a gun at yourself? Though the bullet was thought to have missed important internal organs. When taken to a doctor, the doctor hoped to save him, but Van Gogh replied saying "Then I'll have to do it over again." Hell bent on just ending his life.
Not a lot of people take time to look at the artist behind the beautiful, famous paintings. I see a dreamer, someone who, beyond all the problems, poured himself into his work, someone who created beautiful things. Van Gogh had a amazing relationship with his brother, in fact when Van Gogh shot himself, his brother came to be with him until he died. His brother, Theo, even named his son Vincent Willem. I think that's simply amazing. I really do.
Now, my personal take on the quote (thank you for reading the small history lesson above! :) )
"I dream my painting and I paint my dream." How amazing would it be if our minds worked like that? to be able to take something that we dreamt and put it onto a canvas, what if we already do that? Like when you journal, your writing your deepest thoughts, your most personal dreams. EVERYTHING. You don't need to be skilled iwth a brush to be able to dream, I think Vincent really showed me that today. I can dream with my words, with my thoughts, with my actions. I can be a literal dreamer, making things happen. Vincent had a dream, he accomplished it. Yes while it's sad that he couldn't cope with everything around him; Vincent Van Gogh brought us beauty, art, wonder, all in the short time that he was with us.
So take a page from Vincent, the painter who didn't really had it all sorted. The painter who was able to bring his dreams to life. Take a page from someone, (me) whose life may not be going exactly the way she wants it to be. I struggle with things too, some are big and some are just petty things. But I do struggle, take a page from someone who writes their dreams. Take a page from someone who wants to turn sadness into beauty. Because, someday, I'll look back and I'll be happy that I did this.
Take a page from a dreamer. A painter, a writer, the believer.

“You love me. Real or not real?" I tell him, "Real.”
HUNGER GAMES. Okay, yes by now you should know that I'm mad as a box of cats; I get excited over incredibly stupid stuff.
"You love me. Real of not real?" I tell him, "Real." Wow, what a line, and yes its from Mockingjay, (so even if you didn't read the hunger games or despise them with a passion, you finish what you started reading.) Anyways, Real or not real? what a statement. Will you choose to be with someone for the rest of your life? Will you make it Real or not Real? I would choose to make it real; I mean thats the obvious choice right? Yes it is. How hard is though? To say yes I do love you, yes it is real. It's crazy hard, insanely hard in fact.
Someone, by saying, Real or not real, would've just given you a way out, but at the cost of their own feelings, nothing more. They want to know if your feeling are genuine. I know for certain that I wouldn't be brave enough to ask someone, "You love me. Real or not Real?" Because I don't want to hear the answer if it's not what I want to hear. (I have a feeling that I'm not the only one either.) I don't enjoy putting myself out there, well I do, but to a extent. I'll do crazy things, like dye half of my head pink and be mad in public; but thats a completely different type of being out there (yes? I know I'm right on this one.)
However, when it comes to love, I don't enjoy putting myself out there, I would much rather be protecting my heart then ever do anything to jeopardize my emotions; because my emotions, they really hold me together (to understand this you need to understand that I'm not the most stable person, I need balance in my life, and when I don't have it, I will start to unravel a little, as everyone knows, a little can turn into a lot quite quickly.)
When it comes to the answer though, "Real." What would you say? if someone asked you this? (I personally think this is the cutest question ever to be asked.) but no, seriously if someone asked you this, what would your answer be? Real or not real? (This is a real topic, so don't fault me for being mental.) How often do you find yourself faced with this question? How often do you find yourself on the receiving end? or the giver of the question?
I really don't know how to close this post, so I mean this is as good as anything else.
Love, is a bizarre concept, which I don't pretend to understand, but it is a wonderful puzzle that I want to solve someday, So someday, when you (my readers ((if I have any)) ) find yourselves faced with this question. Ponder it, make your answer count.
