Harry Potter and the Wisdom it brought us

"Always," said Snape.

Certainly, out of every 10 people, when Harry Potter is mentioned, 8 turn their heads and talk about their House pride. The other 2, meanwhile, are Muggles. Now that The Cursed Child and Fantastic Beasts are out, I've dedicated my time to re-read the series again to find a new love for the boy who lived; beneath the world of wand flickering and flying in brooms, lies one of the most imaginative stories ever written, with characters whose strong traits grow into us and teach us about everything from standing up for our beliefs, how to be brave when the world is at a landslide, and even how to cope with the loss of our loved ones.

Here are a few of those:

“Words are, in my not so humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic, capable of both influencing injury, and remedying it.” –The Deathly Hallows

"It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live." - The Sorcerer's Stone

“We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided.” –The Goblet of Fire

"We are all human, aren’t we? Every human life is worth the same, and worth saving.” – Harry Potter The Deathly Hallows


"Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean it is not real?" - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

"Things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end, if not always in the way we expect." - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

"Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times if only one remembers to turn on the light." - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

“If you want to know what a man’s like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals” – Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

“Dark and difficult times lie ahead. Soon we must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy.” – Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

“Just because you have the emotional range of a teaspoon doesn’t mean we all have.” – Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
