Strawberry Tea

I just want to curl up in my bed with a huge cup of strawberry pomagranate tea and never come out of my room again.  It feels really childish to say that I feel a little depressed due to having seen the last installment of the Harry Potter movie series.

But seriously.

My heart aches and every time I think about it I feel a lump form in the back of my throat. I physically hurt. I've seen the movie twice now and bawled like a baby both times!

"Professor, is this real or is it just happening inside my head." [Harry Potter]
"Of course it's happening inside your head, Harry. But that doesn't mean it isn't real." [Professor Dumbledore].

Sometimes I wish a world like Harry Potter's really exists-like every second of every day.  I don't feel like I fit in here.  I don't.  It's sad but true.

And when I think of Hogwarts it feels like home and all the characters are my best friends too.

The End of a Good Thing

Harry Potter Deathly Hallows Part 2 is finally here. I'm so excited, nervous, but most of all sad.  It's like the ending of your childhood. It's bitter-sweet. While I have read all the books a million times and already know what happens, there always something different about seeing the story unfold via cinema style.  It's seems final.  Severus really will be dead along with Fred, Collin Creevey, and a dozen other characters like Tonks and Remus.  It makes my heart hurt and it's only a fictional story!  Sometimes characters in books are my best friends.  They're always there when no one else is-when the world seems cold and lonely and a feeling of abandoment takes over.

It's raining outside right now and I feel this is appropriate weather for tonight's movie showing.  The earth is weeping with me too...
