A Writer's Thoughts

Y#i actually stopped and looked at this for a second #and it hit me that jo rowling didn’t change my life #i was only eight years old when i read my first harry potter book #there wasn’t all that much to change #i was eight when i started and now i’m twenty-one #i’ve had these books to read and learn from and cherish for thirteen years #jo rowling didn’t change my life #she shaped it

"Have you ever noticed that humans have made it so difficult and complicated to “survive” in this world? It’s a vicious cycle. You go to school, and try really hard, so that you can get into a good college, and then you try really hard at college to get a good job, and then you try really hard at your job, so you can make money. And then your kids do the same thing. And everyone just keeps on doing this and no one even stops to think WHY they’re doing it anymore. Everyone just does it because it’s what you’re supposed to do. And like, before, when the human race had just started, the goal was to just SURVIVE. People just lived. I mean, that’s what really matters, right? Survival. Because after you die, it doesn’t matter what college you went to."

The Casual Vacancy by J.K. Rowling

Reading a non-magic book by J.K. Rowling is strange. I read the first chapter and the entire time, I kept expecting to see Harry show up, or a door to a magical world open up along the way, even though I know they won’t. It’s kind of like that feeling you get after losing someone very important in your life. For the next few months after they’re gone, you keep expecting to see them walk through the door. You know they won’t, but you keep expecting them to because that’s what they’ve always done, and now they never will again.
