#revisiting

"Oh, Crowley."

"Nothing lasts forever, "

("..except us.")

I read Shadowhunters when I was fifteen and I loved it, but as I grew up I started to resent it because I felt it wasn’t intellectual enough, and I felt ashamed of having read it. I also loved Shadowhunters because my best friend at the time encouraged me to read it, and it was something we could share. We’re not friends anymore, but I still remember her, and I remember our shared passion. Since life happened, I don’t really care anymore about how smart I look; instead, I’m having a great time rereading it. I also think it’s important to revisit the books that shaped our formative years. I recently did this with Harry Potter, and it revealed a lot about myself and the roots of my current interests and personality.
