Autumn encompasses all of my favourite things. Nothing beats warm colours, cozy scarves and above all else tons and tons of layers. My style has always been very eclectic but I don't think I've ever been inspired by so many different things at once before. This year is different.

It feels like I've come across so many interesting new things and I want to incorporate them into my wardrobe!

You'll see that in my wish-list:

My Favourite Harry Potter Quotes | Happy Thoughts

After writing my previous post, I felt inspired to continue talking about Harry Potter because it seemed like a lot of you are Potter Heads as well ( not surprising). This month wasn't the greatest and I've found myself going to the same place that has always gotten me through tough times... Hogwarts. And by reading the series once again I've realized (even more so than I did before!) just how lovely and encouraging many of the things said in the books were . The thing I love most about the Harry Potter series is that it reminds you of what matters, love. If you have that then you are truly set. But sadly that has become a very rare belief and I find it very sad to think about. I don't think I'm the only one feeling this hopeless about school and my surroundings so I thought that these quotes might just help a few of my fellow Potter Heads out! So here they are, some of my favourite quotes from the Harry Potter series. 

1. Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.
-  Albus Dumbledore 
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

2. "Me? Books and cleverness. There are more important things: friendship and bravery."
- Hermione Granger 
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone 

3. Indeed, your failure to understand that there are things much worse than death has always been your greatest weakness.
- Dumbledore to Voldemort 
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

4. Never trust anything that can think for itself if you can’t see where it keeps its brain.
- Arthur Weasley 
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

5. As much money and life as you could want! The two things most human beings would choose above all – the trouble is, humans do have a knack of choosing precisely those things that are worst for them.
- Albus Dumbledore
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone

6.  Indifference and neglect often do much more damage than outright dislike.
- Albus Dumbledore
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

7. Youth cannot know how age thinks and feels. But old men are guilty if they forget what it was to be young.
- Albus Dumbledore
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

8. Harry, suffering like this proves you are still a man! This pain is part of being human … the fact that you can feel pain like this is your greatest strength.
- Albus Dumbledore 
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

9.I say there are spots that don’t come off… Spots that never come off, d’you know what I mean.
- Mad-Eye Moody
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

10. “You'll stay with me?' 'Until the very end,' said James.” 
- James to Harry 
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

11.  "Every great wizard in history has started out as nothing more than what we are now, students. If they can do it, why not us?"
 –Harry Potter
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

12. . "You're the weak one. And you'll never know love, or friendship. And I feel sorry for you." 
– Harry Potter 
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

13. “Things have a way of coming back to us in the end, if not always the way we expect.” 
–Luna Lovegood 
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

14.  “It is the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more.” 
– Albus Dumbledore 
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

15. Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
- Albus Dumbledore
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows


I feel better just by reading them again.
Good luck everyone!

One Of Those Nights | My Fears

Oh boy. Its one of those nights when I just can't sleep... too much on my mind. I guess a lot of it has to do with school approaching soon (one last sacred month). I mentioned it before, but I go to an art school, which is magnificent but also extremely stressful. 

You know when you love doing something so much it's painful to think of doing anything else? That's me with my singing. My blog is brand new so you guys don't know much about me, but I'm a classical singer and I'm majoring in musical theater. It feels like I've been singing all my life. It's the one thing I'm really good at. The one thing that sets me apart from the rest. I'm not a straight A student nor am I a star athlete. I am a singer.

But you see, that's the problem, I don't think I could really enjoy doing anything else. Do you know how hard it is to make a career out of singing? It terrifies me to think about all the competition there is in this profession. I'm just some shy awkward teenager. I'm not out for blood. All I want to do is sing and perform and maybe just for a few hours take peoples minds off of their troubles. A lot of people hate musicals because they find them too "fluffy" or "corny" , but what they fail to understand is that that's the whole point of them. They're there to help you escape. I feel happy when I watch a musical because it's a symbol of positivity and hope. ( I know, I know, I'm generalizing. Some musicals are pretty depressing. But you get it, right?). 

But anyways, I will conclude with this quote. Now although it doesn't fit my situation perfectly I found it quite comforting and rather inspiring. I don't have a craving for greatness nor do I truly know if I'm destined for any. But that last half is what I loved most.  

Goodnight Guys <3 

My oh my, did I ever get a lot off my shoulders... 

Tell me in the comments what you think and if you have the same worries about your future :)
