As a self-labeled introvert, there have been many circumstances in my life where I thought I was weird because of my dislike for certain situations. I am weird, but that’s neither here nor there. The situations I mean are the stereotypical ones: the big groups, times with lots of chatter, meeting new people, things of that sort. I hate those situations. It’s not because I’m rude or selfish. It’s because it mentally exhausts me to spend a lot of time with a large group of people or meet 15 strangers in a row. It makes me merely uncomfortable now, whereas at a younger age, it made me extremely irritable and emotional, often to the point of tears. From talks with my more extroverted friends, they simply don’t know people like us exist. They don’t know that there are people who sometimes need to be alone, just for a little while.
Always.
At the age of 20, most would say I should’ve outgrown this love of the wizarding world by now, but there is no end in sight. And on the off chance you’ve never heard of this book series or the movies based off it, let me lay it down. The "Harry Potter" series is about (gasp!) Harry Potter, a boy of 11 who lives in a closet underneath the stairs at his horrid — and possibly negligent — aunt and uncle’s house. He finds out he is a wizard. Harry gets to go to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and the series follows his time at the school. The books came out a little before my time, but I caught up as soon as I could read chapter books. Thus began a lifelong love story. |
