Pain and Healing

Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.Your pain is not less wondrous than your joy. Accept the seasons of your heart as you have always accepted the seasons that pass over your fields. Watch with serenity through the winter of your grief

-Kahlil Gibran

Soul Mate

According to this I found him already.

“A true soul mate is probably the most important person you’ll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave. A soul mate’s purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, and make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life.” ~Elizabeth Gilbert

What J.K Rowling has Done for Me.

If I ever met J.K Rowling I would probably cry and thank her for all she has done for me.
But what has she done for me you ask?

Well.

I was never interested in Harry Potter, I loved reading but I was convinced that Harry Potter was a "dorky nerd" in my 4th grade language. My mom continued to try to get me to read it then one day i picked up Sorcerer's Stone and I could NOT put it down. After that i immediately picked up Chamber of Secrets, Prisoner of Azkaban, and Goblet of Fire. At this point there was a lull in the books. I saw the movie and highly anticipated the release of the fifth book.

It was around this time that my mom got sick. And it all happened so fast. She went into the hospital for a long time, but then she got out and i thought things would be fine. Order of the Phoenix had released the day before so we went to get it. Unfortunately things took a turn for the worse and she had to go back in. She passed away July 1st and i was left with nothing.

Nothing but Harry Potter. I dove headfirst into Harry's story. It was a journey, an escape from my awful reality. I quickly finished the book and then re-read it immediately after. At a time when I thought my life would end and i had nothing left I was graced with a remarkable story of love, courage, and friendship amongst a world where darkness and hate was beginning to take over. Each year since I have faithfully followed Harry through his journey until the very end, because he was there for me at the lowest point in my life.

Now we come to the beginning of the end. The release of Deathly Hallows Part one in theaters. I OF COURSE have a midnight ticket to the showing and it is sad to see it end but it was an amazing journey to go on.

So thank you J.K Rowling for all you have done to me. Pulling me out of a sorrow that was sure to drown me, that i was sure i would never make it out of.

To Harry Potter. The Boy Who Lived.

Friendship Relationship Rules

I spend a great many hours in the library considering I work here. And sometimes I'm walking through the stacks..pulling call slips and what not and i began to think about the steps and measures i take in order to insure that I am not over stepping any boundaries when it comes to my friend's relationships and significant others. I came up with a list of precautions that can be taken to guarantee you continue to have a long fulfilling friendship.


1. You should not have your friend's significant others' phone number.
--- There is nothing you really need to be texting your friend's man/girl about. If you have a question for he/she you should go through your friend. Texting may be misconstrued (or correctly depending on the kind of person you are) for trying to be sneaky.Also facebook chatting and skyping are not very appropriate either. Excessive tweeting may be questionable as well. Just don't do it.

2. DO NOT give relationship advice!
---Please refrain from dishing out advice for your friend's relationship. I have noticed (as well as experienced first hand) the repercussions from doing so. The male/female begins to start liking you and then shyt gets real awkward, friendships deteriorate smh....

3. Nicknames.
---Nicknames are ok as long as they're not cutesy little ones. For example i called my friend's boyfriend LaKeKe. That is a little on the "ghetto" side rather than cute. Just be careful you friend may not be happy about you having a nickname for their significant other.

4. Greetings
---A Quick waddup, high five, pound, hand wave, church hug is appropriate. Don't get overly excited to see your friend's significant other.

5. Don't Date Him Girl
---Your friend's done with him. OK that don't mean he's for you.

Be careful out here everyone! There's Snakes in the Grass.
