A boggart.

Afraid. To be afraid.

We all have something we are afraid of. We all fear something. Some things more than others. Some fear spiders and some fear death.

In Harry Potter and the Prisoner Of Azkaban J.K. Rowling introduces the world for a creature called a Boggart. A boggart lives in closets and other places where it is dark and it can be hidden. No one knows how it actually looks like, since it takes the look of ones biggest fear when one sees it. I asked one of my close friends what a boggart would turn into if she saw one. A rat she said. She then asked me what my boggart would turn into.

That is something I really don't know. I'm afraid of a lot of things. Not spiders, not death nor heights.. I'm a little afraid of snakes and little girls laughter. But my biggest fear is the things I come up with when I am alone. When I am alone, be it either in my bed or when my friends have gone home, I can convince myself that there is someone in the room looking at me, someone starring at me through the window - which is impossible, unless they have a very big latter - I can actually convince myself of the most awful things. And it's not because I like being afraid or because I think these are happening. I hate being afraid.

So what will my boggart turn into? I don't know. I really don't. I think that I am afraid of fear itself. I am afraid of things that's not there or doesn't exist. That's pretty hard to turn into right?

So my question to all of you reading this. What would a boggart turn into if you saw it and how would you defeat it? Remember laughter is the only thing that makes it go away, so make your fear funny. 

Magic

As you might've noticed I am a big Harry Potter fan. And I would apologize but I can't since it wouldn't be sincerely.
So as a Harry Potter fan I love the idea of magic. I always have. My mum has often told me, that when I was a child I would make up stories about magic and magical creatures, and that I often thought I saw a werwolf or something like that in the woods.
But as I got older I realized that magic isn't just spells, potions, magical creatures etc. But it is things like, new friends, seeing old friends again, love and so much more.

After being in Harry Potter, I believe a bit more in magic than I did before.

-Rupert Grint.

I believe in magic myself. Not just the magic in love, friendship and so on. I believe that there's things out there, that so many does not believe in but really does exist. Yes, I know what you might be thinking. I've heard it all before. You might not believe it but I do. It might not be spells but something else. It is a believe that makes my day more beautiful and easier to get through.

Do you believe in magic? Yes or no. Leave a comment and tell me and feel free to tell me what kind of magic and why.

Easterbreak

Some are traveling, some are visiting friends or family and some are staying at home.
I am one of those that is home doing different things. I have friends who are traveling, working, visiting friends or have a friend staying at their place. I have gone home to my mum and sister which is still my home, since my heart is here. I will have to admit that even though I love my mum and sister I am quite bored. I miss seeing my friends and having fun with them.
But I have my cat with me. He is happy to see my sisters cat and my sister again and is right now cuddling with my sister. What I am trying to say with this meaningless post is, that even though your at home bored it can be a good break anyways. You are relaxing!

I am spending my break staying at my mum's, reading a good book or watching a good movie with my mum and sister. But what I'm doing the most is cuddling with my cat and my sisters cat. I can't imagine a more relaxing way to spend my easter break.

My question to you: What are you doing in your easter break? 

To travel is to live.

Traveling. To travel.
To travel is to live. That's what the famous author Hans Christian Anderson once said, and I personally thinks he's right. I feel more alive when I am traveling than when I stay in my home.
I haven't traveled much but most of the places I've been has been beautiful and exciting. I've been to Germany a couple of times - as most Danes have, I've been to Prague and it was such a beautiful city! I've been to London three times it is my favorite city of all. I can't get enough of it. And last but not least I've been to Beijing. I never imagined I'd go there but it was amazing!

The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.

- St. Augustine.

So in the 19 years of my life I haven't traveled that much. But I'm a sucker for it, really. I love experiencing new cultures. Seeing how people are different from us in Denmark. A good example could be: The Chinese students have more respect for their teacher than the students in Denmark does. The Chinese stand up, bow and say good morning when the teacher enters the room. Danish students stays put, makes noise and rarely says anything to the teacher.

But the thing I love the most about traveling is the feeling I get. This happy feeling. When I'm in London I feel like I belong. Like I'm home. And they say that the home is where the heart is. My heart is of course home with my mum and sister but it is also spread all over the world. Because the people there doesn't know me.

So my question for you this time is: Where have you traveled to? What was your favorite place? And where is your heart?

Be proud of who you are

Proud. To be proud.
You are you and no one else. Don't try to be like everyone but try your best to be you.
Every one wants to change something about themselves. Yes, even I want to change something about myself. It might be ones hight, ones noes, ones feet or something else. But we only have the body that we were born in so accept it as it is.
I know that in these newer days we can change a lot when it comes to appearance. We can use make-up to cover our imperfections, surgery to get a new noes and much more. But you can't love anyone before you love yourself for who you are.
I know this may not change the way you look upon yourself. A short person may want to be a little higher and a brunette may want to be a blond. I am not very tall myself and I often say that I would love to be a few centimeters higher. Furthermore I've changed my hair color so many times because I wanted a different hair color. But I've realized that people that love me doesn't love me for the way I look. They love me for my personality. And after I've read this awesome quote by Daniel Radcliffe - the guy who play Harry Potter - I've come to terms with the fact that I won't get taller. The quote can be seen in the picture.

Be proud of who you are.

-Daniel Radcliffe

You should not be afraid to be who you are. One thing I really don't like is people hating other people for being themselves and being open about it. I've got a really good friend who is homosexual and he doesn't hide it. He is proud of who he is and I couldn't be more proud of a friend. He knows that homosexuals are still being looked down upon. He is a good example of how you should be proud of who you are.

So my question for you is: Are you proud of who you are or is there anything you would change about your appearance and why?

Friendship

Friendship. To have a friend.

To have a friend is important. Well.. At least it is for me, and I am quite sure that it's the same for you.

If there are anyone I love higher than anything then it's my mum, sister, father and my friends. The few close friends I have are someone I lover very much.

I know that my friends will be there for me when I'm falling, and my friends know I'll be there for them. Or i hope that they know that.

Friendship is born in that moment when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one."

C.S. Lewis

I don't believe in only having one best friend. I believe in having best friends, friends and familiars. The close friends I have is what I call my best friends. They know almost everything about me and I know almost everything about them. They accept me for being me and I accept them for being them.

We have times where we laugh and fool around, but we also have times where we are serious and discuss things. Of course one can have a row with a friend but if you are real friends you will forgive each other. No relationship can be perfect without a few arguments, that's what a friend of mine once said to me. He is right. Because even if you are best friends, a couple, mother and daughter, father and son or what else, you will always get frustrated with the other person. Not because they aren't like you, but because you need to 'clean' your relationship. 

Some of the things me and my friends do is to take pictures, write funny stories, talk about everything, watch movies and much more.

So now my question to you is: What do you do with your best friends?

Time is a funny thing.

Time. To have time.
Time is something I wonder too much about. My thoughts run in a ring around this too often.
Who decided there was 60 seconds in a minute? 60 minutes in an hour? And 24 hours in a day? That's the biggest question for me.
I know most if it is something people once upon a time observed. It's easy to see when it's winter and when it's summer. But how did someone decide that there was to be 30, 31 or 28 days in a month? Or who decided there was to be 365 day in a year? Because those things are pretty hard to observe. How does one know when a year and a month starts and when it ends when it hasn't been decided yet?
But the things I think the most about is the future and the past.

The consequences of our actions are so complicated, so diverse, that predicting the future is a very difficult business indeed.

-Albus Dumbledore.

No one know what the furture will hold but I can't seem to stop thinking about how my life will turn out. Will I still be friends with those I am now? Or will I have found a whole bunch of new friends? Will my dreams ever come true? Will I be alone? These are just some of the questions.

Who knows? No one. Because the future cannot be predicted. I don't believe in those who says it can. Predicting the future only happens in books.

But the past. The past will always hunt a person. Be it in a good or bad manner it will always hunt you. It can be something horrible that was done towards another person, or it can be the good memories of a good time with the family or girlfriend/boyfriend. The past is always there.

If I could make one magical object real, and there are many I want to make real believe me, it would perhaps be the time turner from Harry Potter. The one in the picture above.

You can go back in time with it. But what would I use it for other than to go back in time?

I would go back and observe all the good memories. Or maybe go back to my childhood and whisper to myself in sleep: "Everything will be alright, hang in there kiddo."

So my question for you out there. What would you do if you had a time turner? And remember, you must not be seen.

Gossip

Gossip. To gossip.
Gossip. We all do it even if we don't want to admit it. We all talk about someone with someone. Good or bad we all do it. But still we look down upon those who gossip about others.
"How could she do that? It was something A told her in confidence," that's what we all say when we tell someone about the conversation. But we all know that we love hearing something about others.
We love to hear some humiliating history about A and her night out. Or maybe B was cheating on A and C saw or heard about this and told it to D. No matter what it is about we love to hear it. We don't care if it's a rumor or if it's true.
The only thing we care about is entertainment.

Gossip is what no one claims to like - but what everyone enjoys.

-Joseph Conrad

In danish we have a saying: "One feather becomes five chickens."  It's basically about how one story quickly changes to another when it is passed on. B heard a story about A and told it to C, but what C didn't know was that B made some changes, C passed it on to D and again it was changed and D told it to E again with changes and when E told it to A, A couldn't recognize it.

Even though I don't really like gossip myself I must admit that I gossip myself. It's a human error I think. We need something to talk about, and we don't want to tell the boring story about what we had for dinner yesterday. We need something juicy to talk about, and what is better to talk about than what our neighbor did last night with the woman, who was not his wife?

So you dear readers out there. What do you mean about gossip? Are you willing to admit that you too gossip about people?

To want.

Want. To want.
To want someone is for me the same as to lust after another person. Sexual.
It might just be me, but when someone says: "I want you," it is in the I-want-a-onenight-stand-with you or in the I-want-a-fuck-at-my-disposal-when-I-need-it kind of way. Not in a I-want-a-relationship-with-you kind of way. Unless you are in a relationship with the person you're saying it to.
Personally I'm not into "Fuck buddies." But i have nothing against people who have these. Should I choose myself I would choose a relationship or onenight stands. The only problem with relationships is that they time after time hurt you and in the end can destroy you. Onenight stands on the other hand is something you know what your getting into. But I would still choose a relationship before everything else.

I'm the kind of person who hates to put herself into a position where there is a risk of getting hurt. That is why I rarely talk about feelings - the reason to why my relationship doesn't work. Or one of the reasons, 'cause to show affection is not something I'm good at.
I often seem like an insensitive person which makes it hard to be in a relationship.
"You never show that you're in love with me" - a sentence I might have heard to often. I should probably walk around with a sign hanging around my neck that says: "Caution: Insensitive bitch, who can ignore you, hates to talk about feelings, rarely shows affection and is bound to hurt you."
Then people couldn't say that they didn't know what they were getting into.
But don't we all hurt someone at some point in our life?
As Dumbledore says:

"To hurt is as human as to breath."

So you unfortunate people who read this first post. What does wanting another person, who you are not in a relationship with, mean to you?

First post

Welcome to my blog.

This is the place where I will share my thoughts, memories and what else I think might be interesting.

I will be writing in English but I am Danish, so there will be some misspelling and bad grammar and for that I am sorry.

I see this blog as my personal pensive, a place to store memories and thoughts, and I hope you may find some of it interesting.
