I feel empty and yet satisfied at the same time..Ive felt this way before a few years back. I cant exactly remember when...but it was around the same time..a lazy hot afternoon, sun shining outside and wind blowing into my room..so peaceful...and after the exact act am I experiencing all of these. And its not deja vu.

I've just completed reading the final harry potter book. I always feel empty after I read any of the Hp books. I guess that's cos I get completely sucked into the story and when ive reached the final sentence and close the book, I feel a longing for it to continue...

Escapism.

I am satisfied with the ending. I dont know how she did it but rowling tied up all the loose ends perfectly and completed the story. Complete. I like that.

You know, I havent found any other book that can grip me as much as these books have. The themes are brillaint. Friendship, love, duty, honor, death, circumstances, prejudice, greed, envy, corruption, etc. In essence, the strengths and weaknesses of being human. Above all, the innoncence and realism of the content despite being a fantasy book is what makes the series compelling.

I sigh now because Im sad that its over. It seems like I have to grow up. The books provided me a way to get away from reality, you know? Just to immerse myself and grow with the characters over the last few years.

And Ive grown :)

I guess I like books or tv series (gilmore girls) like these because the characters grow up as I grow up too..and now that Im nearly 23 next year, will there be a book or series or whatever that I can grow up with?

Return to innocence.
