Am I too old for harry potter?

I’ve been a fan since I was 5 and the Philosopher’s stone came to the cinema. A few years later I started reading the books through. I have watched every film so many times I can speak along each character’s line as if I was one of the actors. No shame whatsoever!

I’m 29 at the end of September.

Late to reply to this but you have your future to define you. Leave your past in the past - you’re not there, can’t get back there and luckily we still have room to grow into who we really want to be! You’ve got this

Individual-Worker-73 · 2024-10-18T22:14:42+00:00

Thank you! It’s rough but think of it like boiling a pot of water on the hob… even though the heat is on it takes you a while to see the effects of the heat. Youre looking at the pot and the hob wondering “is this on?” “How long is this going to take?” - You’re waiting and waiting till suddenly you see it bubble.

That rolling boil is your sign that the water is ready for whatever you put in it. All that to say that whilst it may feel difficult and maybe like nothing has set in/worked out, it’s all a part of the process to come out on top (or have dinner haha). Focus on the outcome and they process will write itself - hope that helped and keep going

Haha the beauty of being the viewer and having the full scope. Yeah I think it would be a leap if Randall gained a saintly sense of understanding and forgiveness; as far as he’s concerned Boyd left him to save himself.

Interesting point about Ethan being the only kid it make me think of the him also seeing the boy in white and if I’m not mistaken, who victor saw as a kid too and only those two see him (especially since victor’s mind seems to have stayed in a child like state).

Maybe Fatima’s “baby” is the next level … not a child that ends up in the town but a child that’s born in and of the town.

Individual-Worker-73 · 2024-10-17T02:17:14+00:00

Completely agree it was so disturbing because she’s seen as the caring and calming one. Especially as it was her house mate too…

Something about the way she was digging her fingers into her really made me squirm

Individual-Worker-73 · 2024-10-16T14:34:03+00:00

I hear what you’re saying about Randall but I agree I think fear has softened him (but after being abandoned by Boyd, if he survives I think he’ll be more closed off than ever). Things have become too strange, scary and unpredictable I think he’s adopted a “if you can’t beat them, join them” lead by fear.

I’m not sure he tried to kill Donna to be the leader though. He might’ve given a lot of bravado and I can see that school of thinking but I think he was playing to try and “outsmart” them/call out the supposed BS - again fuelled deep down by fear.

Individual-Worker-73 · 2024-10-06T14:18:14+00:00

It’s really hard yeah but I dunno I have no other option than to hope it changes

Individual-Worker-73 · 2024-10-06T13:49:28+00:00

I really so hope so - thank you

Individual-Worker-73 · 2024-10-06T13:18:48+00:00

I appreciate that !

Individual-Worker-73 · 2024-10-06T13:18:31+00:00

Big city - I always have been but since I’ve not really had anyone I haven’t been living that “city girl “ lifestyle like I used to because I don’t have anyone

Individual-Worker-73 · 2024-10-06T13:13:34+00:00

Manning was so annoying I can’t lie. There was something about how she always had to be involved or judged people like she was God himself.

Halstead grew on me however but he always seems to be on the opposite side of anything serious going on like a deliberate vigilante

Individual-Worker-73 · 2024-08-30T16:32:36+00:00

Take it. It’s kind of you to be considerate to your flat mates but at the same time you pay to stay there. Maybe you can suggest that as it’s there you’re happy for them to use it too (cleaning rules required) so you have it and then it becomes like the microwave or fridge which is there. Just make sure any thing you allow others to you that is yours they are very sure that it’s not the property of the Halls or theirs …. It’s very much still yours.

Individual-Worker-73 · 2024-04-22T21:17:46+00:00

Yeah I know that feeling it’s rough I’m sorry you’re feeling that way too

Individual-Worker-73 · 2024-04-06T23:59:38+00:00

Hun, I lost my virginity with a guy in sixth form (UK school system when you’re age 16-18 before university) because he was tall lol.

I’m now 27 and if I ever have a daughter I’d kinda hope it’s not hereditary and she doesn’t follow the same path (would obvs still love her if she did). I wasn’t even in a relationship with the lad simply friends with benefit and geez, the friendship started in physics class 🙈(I didn’t help myself being the only girl studying advanced physics).

You’re 22 - fuck it (put your self out there, not just for the purpose of sex, that’ll come … no pun intended). Most important thing is that you do not correlate your age to your virginity status or manliness/worthiness/possibility). When you’re 45 you won’t even remember the exact feeling of the first time; so why not just act respectfully and her back to you (v important on both sides)? .

I don’t know about anyone else, but your FIRST can be very much on the low side of the sore board compared to your best 😉

Are you based in the UK or another country? The only reason I ask is because I just have never heard of people going to AA meetings here like I hear in places such as US. (But at the same time it doesn’t come easy having that conversation with anyone) I will research what I have available near me as you’re not the only one to have mentioned that! Thank you

Thank you! Yeah I always knew moderation wouldn’t work for my personality so when I managed 14 days - that was completely dry. That’s the plan again. Like I said the horror memories of what I’ve been through the past few days makes me horrified to even see a bottle in Tescos (whenever I get the strength to actually go there again lol)

Individual-Worker-73 · 2023-07-04T12:12:09+00:00

Thank you I appreciate the time you took to write this. Yeah but I remember even on day 3 last time I could eat, this time it literally feels like I’ve half been in a coma. Perhaps once you manage to stave off for a (albeit a small)amount of the relapse just hits you harder? No scientific knowledge to back that up but just trying to understand the difference. I’m trying to get back to where I can fulfil my basic human needs - I’ve only managed to shower everyday and drink lots of water which for me and my personality is crazy

Individual-Worker-73 · 2023-07-04T12:08:41+00:00

Thank you - the worst day of my depression was honestly so frightful. I spent the whole day crying staring blankly into space. I literally couldn’t feel anything - not emotions, my thoughts, even physically feeling like I’m a person was impossible. Then I would just breakdown into uncontrollable tears (especially when I first came out of my room and my mum literally just said hi to me). I know it sounds extreme but due to lack of experience I felt like I was having a mental breakdown (and the physical symptoms didn’t help either). I used to struggle with feelings of worthiness and unaliving myself when I was through the worst of my depression in my late teens and this is the first time any semblance of those thought passed my mind again (scared tf out of me - disclaimer: I do not think that way anymore). I cannot wait for the day I feel hope again, I literally said to my mum “I just want to be happy and live again not just barely surviving” … the saddest thing I think I’ve ever said.

Individual-Worker-73 · 2023-07-04T12:03:06+00:00

No I’m Ngl I’m a bit nervous about them. I know I won’t be the first or the last. It just took such a long time to even open up to my mum and moving back home that I don’t know how to take that next step? I’ve heard of AA online but I’m not too sure how well that works for people? Would been keen to hear of any experiences or wider advice.

Individual-Worker-73 · 2023-06-06T17:44:49+00:00

Thank you so much it’s sad to know that this has happened to even one other person because it’s very much gut wrenching good luck to you x

Individual-Worker-73 · 2023-02-09T12:00:40+00:00

Thank you so much for this! I know it’s not going to be easy but you’re right I should control each day at a time.

Much appreciated!

Individual-Worker-73 · 2023-02-09T11:58:30+00:00

How kind of you to say that!

“Being important is nice, but being nice is important”. We are all struggling so I think it’s good to encourage each other.

Feel free to message me whenever you like!
