I know... I'm totally cheating when I'm just posting vlogs on my blog.
When September is over, I promise I'll place some of my rants here!!

Septemberness... or something...
This September might be a pretty slow blogging month...
On my YouTube channel I'm doing daily videos this month. And I'm still not very good at the vlogging thing, so it's taking up some time and energy (but I enjoy it, really).
Also, school starts tomorrow!!! (Whoa!)
So yeah, that's all...

(A stranger across the world called me an inspiration... Blows my mind...)

Dear Self
No, oh no, not now.
Seriously, please don't.... I know it's all a lot, but don't give in to this. Don't let those aspects take over.
It's been going so well. Do not fall off because of a few changes. Do not fall. The way down is so long, and once you slip... you're not stopping until you hit the ground, shattering to a thousand pieces - each of which have to be picked up one by one, and then placed correctly. Constructing that whole again will take so much and so long.
Do not fall now!

After all, I'm just a Hufflepuff
In my tiny personal world, these are the Pottermore times.
And no, I cannot (or will not try to) explain what Pottermore is. You have to try it. I can only say that I love it. Jo really is brilliant.
Obviously there is a lot of talk about it all (in this tiny world of mine) and the sorting ceremony especially!
The sorting hat put me in Hufflepuff just as I always have done myself, but many others have been placed in a "wrong" house. Meaning, not the house they've always felt they belonged to.
All this has brought sorting and houses back on the discussion table, and I'm basically just going to copy-paste my entries from two such discussions.
First, the lovely and awesome Cate posted this video about the whole concept of having to be sorted into one house, and how it is never easy to define personalities. Here is my comment:
First of all, I totally agree that we, of course, cannot be sorted into specific categories/houses/types/whatever.
But I don't see the Hogwarts houses as a problem. It's clear that Harry could easily have been in Slytherin. Snape turns out to be acting out of love, and Harry describes him as the bravest wizard he ever knew... Braver than any Gryffindor!
Just like It's obvious that Hermione has many of the same qualities as the Ravenclaws are known for.
I don't think the house defines anything...
I do, however, think that the houses can make us think about ourselves and our qualities. And perhaps it can help us find the things we would like to bring out more... And maybe discover new things.
Like when we categorize books. It's not just the books in the Romance section that have romance as part of the story...
Know what I mean??
And then, awesome Lidewij posted this about the Pottermore sorting. She talks about how you yourself are more qualified for sorting you than any online quiz. Even an online quiz that Jo has made...
I commented on why I have always felt like a Hufflepuff:
It could be argued that I'd be a Ravenclaw. And sometimes I do feel like one. But "in the end/deep down/whatever you want to call it", the things that matter most to me is equality and fairness. That's why I've always said Hufflepuff. Especially since the sorting hat takes your choice into consideration. I find the Hufflepuff side of me more valuable than the Ravenclaw.
I think knowledge is EXTREMELY important. But I cannot stand when people feel "better" 'cause they have knowledge. We're equal!
Though, let me just point out that I don't mean it like a "so Hufflepuff is better than Ravenclaw"-thing.
It's a completely personal thing... That, for me, how we see and how we treat each other and ourselves is the most important thing. First priority!! How we prioritize is so very individual.

So yes, I basically just wanted to share it because these discussions are all over the place. Feel very free to comment on it and add to it and so on!
(You know I love the Potter things!)

Untrue to yourself
It's no secret that life sometimes (all the time) takes you by surprise.
Sometimes it's a Peeves in the ass (no that doesn't really make sense, but it sounds even worse than a pain in the ass, if you ask me...) and other times it's delightful. Annoying, interesting, evil, ironic, funny, whatever. You name it, life can be it!
Life seems to be one of those thing that you cannot define, yet you spend all of it trying to do just that.
The definition of life depends on your....... No, I'm so not gonna go there. Don't worry! (I just saw so many pairs of eyes starting to roll before I'd even finished that sentence!) I'll spare you.
I love the realization of not being who I thought I was. It's one of those things life keeps pulling out of the sleeve. I've heard so many say "Never forget who you are" or "Stay true to yourself and don't let anything change you" and so on and so on. I disagree.
I enjoy discovering that I've changed immensely, that I'm different from x number of years/months/days ago.
And I don't even think it's because of all the self-hatred I've always lived with.
It's more the beauty of getting to see life from yet another different perspective. Getting to indulge in other kinds of passion and experiences. Not having to settle for what life was or has always been. Exploration! Discoveries! Learning and understanding. Feeling new thirsts and trying different ways of quenching them.
It all provides me with fresh yearnings for this thing we call life.

Short one: Just an observation...
This is not one of those long ramble-posts I'm so fond of writing.
Nope, this is short:
Nope, this is short:
Even in my social anxiety therapy group I seem to be the "outsider"!
What's up with that? I could try telling myself that the rest of the group members probably feel the same way, but I simply don't believe that at all.
A more positive observation from today: Almonds in rye bread... That's beyond great!
