...Those Forgotten Books....

I found this old box under my bed recently while looking for some snacks. Inside were all the books I loved in middle school, Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, everything. As I thumbed through them and saw the yellowing pages and dog-eared corners, I realized how much time has passed...and how different things are now. I used to spend hours reading these stories with a notebook close by for any idea that popped into my head... Now, when I try to write, it feels like trying to remember what it was like to believe in magic and mystery....
