What the Harry Potter Reunion reminded me about myself and how it helped close the book on my healing journey...
When I was 8 years old, I was given Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in paperback. It sits on my bookcase to this day with worn cover and tattered pages, nestled safely between the shelf and the continuation of the series. Having no cable television in our singlewide trailer back then, we were often a few steps behind the trends of the decade and by the time I was introduced to the series, there were already 4 books and two movies to catch up on. The first book was finished in two days between chores and homework. A few days later, my mother took me into the back of the library in town to find a very much coveted copy of the movie, which we watched as a family the very same night. In the span of a week, it had happened.

How I Am Seeking out My Hidden Bookworm This Year for My Mental Health
I have to say I am not a fan of New Year resolutions. Mainly because I have applied for enough gym memberships in January, that I could own my own gym. None of these I have visited more than five times, yet still, I get suckered into paying for a year. Forbes says 80% of New Year's resolutions are abandoned in February. This year is different though, I have made a resolution I am determined to keep.

The 3-Month Sleep Experiment (2021)
This is the 3rd and final part of my 3-month "experiment", during which I have stopped using recreational cannabis in order to have dreams that I have recorded, largely for upcoming therapy. The idea was to see if the dreams are as dark and stressful as they were before I began using recreational cannabis about 7 years ago and found that using it allowed me dreamless sleep; sweet oblivion.

Tasting the bitterness of love is a most miserable phobia in life
How can it say that Love is bitter as it always remains a reason for happiness? The answer should be expected from those who have been engulfed in this beautiful. But when the suffering feeling gets involved it also depicts the bitter side as well. It is always a natural myth that every aspect of life includes both negative and positive sides.

Afternoon Delight
I remember as a teen-age boy, I would love to sit on my bed during the afternoons when I was home, daydream and then fall into a nice nap. Daydreaming enhanced my imagination and boosted my confidence. (After all, I did strike out Reggie Jackson in the bottom of the ninth inning in game seven of the world series - the Met's finally beating the Yankees. Or accepted an Academy Award for my acting in the Best Movie of the year.)
