on being 'mean'

'I solemnly swear I'm upto no good'..
I might have long grown out of the Harry Potter series,
but this still remains my favorite excerpt, catering to all my evil intentions. evolving in the process of time is physiological, maybe fun even, but I have had the extreme misfortune of having found my way out of huge craters, made in people's lives.


All of us have been there, that dark damp room in the fortress of our minds, wherein lie the memories of a different us, and if you ask me, visiting these places once in a while is more than an essential part of growing up.
The essential practice of calling up the ghosts from the past, which I would like to add is  totally distinct from remorse makes me the person I am today. Not that I am the president of the United States or the queen of Jordan for that matter, but still somehow am a girl with a past sans all the scars that should be accompanying them.

 I somehow don't buy the whole fuss about 'learning from one's mistakes'.people never learn, they just keep making the same mistakes albeit with a different justification to them ( and a few portions of cynicism thrown in).
The secret lies just in recognizing your shortcomings, and not be wary, no that would just take away the whole thrill about it(;)) and just stumbling on THE perfect scenario that u've ever dreamt of.

I'd be the last person on earth to be favoring the whole destiny apeshit thing, I'd rather take life headfirst, get bruised(stabbed, cut, burnt) an then wait for the next misadventure.
