Oh Harry!

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Thirteen years later, I am re-reading this book for the first time! I totally enjoyed it, probably much more than my young mind could have back then. I kept bumbling with a mixture of delight and sad nostalgia reading about characters knowing what I know now having read the entire series. I can't wait for my kids to read this series!!!

Dear God, the Universe and Future me,
Please give me patience (lots of patience) when I need to be patient

Should I?

Lately I've found myself wondering something quite strange really and it sort of revolves around the question 'Should I continue living?' It feels almost as if I have a choice in the matter, like I can just switch a knob and turn my life on or off. It brings into question my own mortality lately.

I'm suffering (yes I'm using the word suffering) from a chronic disease for more than half my life and if I stop to take notice, I can't help but wonder how long can the human body survive with all these medication I keep pumping into it day and night, nonstop. For quality of life reasons, I need the meds, but is that at the cost of quantity? I can't tell what would kill me faster; the disease or the medication. But I do know that health wise, it's never going to be easy and could only get worst as my body naturally ages.How much more pain can I bare?

So yes, that brings me back to the question - Should I continue living?

I love life, but what's the point anymore? Even love hurts me. Life hurts.

And then of course, if I continue living, I would have to face the death of all my loved ones around me. I'm still struggling to function after mom's death; maybe I should stop. 

But again, I don't exactly have that switch ... that choice

It just doesn't work like that, not really.

 

Reading a good book
