Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi
"The happiest man on earth would look into the mirror and see only himself, exactly how he is."
-Albus Dumbledore explaining Harry Potter what the Mirror of Erised does
Why is it hard for me to think of things or whatever that I really want?
Is it because I'm happy and I want nothing else?
Or simply, I don't know myself enough to know what I desire?
I mean, if only I could find a mirror like that.
I'll stand in front of it to see what my heart's desire is.
Cause seriously I find it hard.
Last weekend my family and I went shopping, sort of.
My old man asked me, "May bibilin ka ba? Ano bang gusto mo?"
And I was like, "SHET! Ano nga ba???!?!?!?!?!?" to myself.
Then at school we were ask to write the things we want for our wishlist.
It took me about an hour to write the title of 3 books.
And still, I'm not so sure if I really want any of those.
The "need" part is always easy.
I mean, school stuff, necessities and such.
But the "want"... well I can't seem to think of any.
Most people I know if given money would go shopping for clothes without hesitation.
As for me, I would most probably keep it and think about it. And think some more. And think.
Maybe I'm not materialistic somehow.
Maybe.. just maybe, I really NEED that mirror to find what I WANT.
