A new look!

People tend to create fixed impressions of  themselves in the minds of people around them. Sometimes it can be really unfair . And sometimes,it works to their advantage.

On my sixteenth and seventeenth birthdays, it struck me that I was the same age as the heroes I grew up reading about. I was Amy's age when I first read Little Women. Now I'm older then Meg. Back when I was seven, I saw  fifteen year old Julian (from the Famous Five) as the responsible one, the adult. At seventeen, it dawned upon me that I needed to change my perspective. In a way, it made me sad. Firstly, if the characters are younger than me, it's hard to idolize them the way I did before.Secondly,(although just a little) it made me wonder what I was  doing with my life. The first  fantasy novel I read was Harry Potter (has anyone else waited in a queue at six in the morning to collect th...
