When you read books, you
develop fantasies about what your life will be like. You want friends like
Annabeth and Grover, mentors like Lupin and Dumbledore, a relationship like
Cath and Levi's, but in reality it doesn't happen that way. Maybe you only developed
strong friendships this year and you're still wandering on your own path,
figuring out what you're really passionate about.
It's hard to accept that
what you planned didn't actually come true. You don't feel "normal"
and you think it's because there's something wrong with you. You might have hit
obstacles that you didn't think you could do overcome, but you toughed it out
and surprise yourself.
Books almost always have
happy endings because they're fun to read; happy stories sell. It's hard to
read a book that breaks your heart and leaves you in tears, but that doesn't
mean that's not what real life is like.
High school isn't what it
seems like in movies or books, but that doesn't mean your story isn't just as
important. There will be some shining moments that you will look back on and be
happy about: taking on the class in a debate of a subject you're passionate
about, looking forward to coming in early or staying late for an
extracurricular you really love, or meeting people who later became your best
friends.
So as you embark the next
chapter of life, remember this quote from 'Doctor Who': "The
good things don't always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things
don't necessarily spoil the good things or make them unimportant"
