not all who wander are lost. but pleanty of people are lost because they are too afraid to wander. i like declairitive sentances but i can't find any. i want the song but i don't make the effort. maybe i am just lazy. there are too many things that i want to do with my life that i am worried i never will, for any reason. i want to go back to school, but i want to go explore the world. i can't be twenty in a month. people in their twenties are grown up. i never wanted to be a grownup. i wanted to go to never never land and play all day and maybe fight pirates and fly and go on adventures, but i never wanted to grow up. it happened anyway. how the hell did i get so old without my knowing it? i should have responsibilities now, i am looking into how much insurance and couches cost, that just isnt right, i should go adventuring and live befor i settle into a life i don't think i will want. i think too many people go through the motions and end up living a life that they hadn't really chosen but they never really fought.

know why people like harry potter? because the good guys and bad guys are pretty damn clear, even when there is some ambiguity, and the struggle is just and the fight is important and real for harry and his friends. but what do we have to fight, concrete and clear like lord voldemort? what is asked of us that is supposed to help us find the power inside of ourselves? what is my culture, what is my calling, what is important to me? people like harry potter because it is all laid out eas for him, and we wish it could be so easy for us, so kids dissapear into a book for a day or so, and come out with visions of purpose.
