Reading rage.

Posted on by

When my brother let me borrow his Kindle last week, I was pretty happy as I had planned to read a good amount over break. I opened it up, scrolled through the books and selected the first book that I recognized, which was the first Harry Potter book, The Sorcererererer’s Stone. Little did I know that I would be facking hooked in and on a reading rage over this series. I had planned to read self-development books, or some classics, autobiographies, etc. But now I’m reading about people flying on brooms, 3 headed dogs, and evil wizards and shit. I feel like I was transported back to 3rd grade, sitting on the ground in Ms. Amsbary’s class, mystified and fully encapsulated into the story as she would read us a chapter a day from the book after lunch, but whatever, shits dope.

I finished off the first book at like 4 am this morning, and then just finished off the second book now in a little bit under 5 hours. My bro has all the HP books on the Kindle and I’m determined to finish it all by by the end of next week lol. I feel like a kid but, I feel that Harry Potter is something that many people in this generation relate to and reference. Its a classic in a sense, and I feel that I’ve missed out, so yeaaah thats my justification.

Gunna head to Riverside to work on my car a bit, then… Buttonwillow.

Fall one one, got it done.

Finally finished my last final today, first semester at USC has come to an end. This semester has definitely provided me with many eye-opening experiences, both with ones that I will happily never forget as well as those that I really really wish I can forget LOL.

I’ve been told by my dad and I’ve told others as well to “live in the moment.” But, these words have never truly come alive or made sense to me until now. I’ve always been the type of person to think waaay too much into situations and my mind is never really “present” to where I am. It’s quite suffocating to say the least.

Not gunna flood this post with details but, our time with the people we meet, our friends, our loved ones, is extremely short.  Cherish the times with the people around you and really be present enough to enjoy their company;  its quite liberating. Create new, amazing, and exciting experiences that will not only develop yourself but inspire others to do the same as well.

Create the environment you want and don’t let external factors or others drive you away from what you truly want to get out of life. Don’t think too much, just act, even failure is an experience in itself, and at the end of it all, reflect back briefly and and see how far you’ve come. To put it simply.. be genuine, inspire, and live it up.
