Observations

Halloween weekend was fantastic, but also kind of crazy stressful at the same time. I hung out with my Quidditch team for the first time outside of the club and we bonded in a very positive way. I'm super excited to feel closer with so many new people. It's exciting to see a group of people whom aren't that close to choose to be together on a day that people typical choose to share with their closest friends.  This group of people wants to be friends with each other and I'm observing their friendships grow and form over just a couple of weeks.

But, with those I am close with, I've noticed some things I hadn't noticed before. I need to be more observant of what others are saying; about what they're feeling and what I'm feeling. Excitement isn't always a good thing.  We can get carried away with words and ideas and not truly know how our imagination can effect ourselves. We can imagine reality and get lost in what is not real. The feelings I thought were mine became someone else's because we weren't being observant but were too excited in the moment. Those feelings which were mine became hers, and she became confused, as so did I. Sometimes it's important observe what your actions are doing.  I've had to start over with some of my feelings and opinions because I wasn't observant enough on what my words were doing to another person. My enthusiasm was too strong and neither of us were observant enough to know if the thoughts being implanted in our minds were real or not.

Sometimes excitement and enthusiasm can carry you away to an unknown place without a name that is lost, confused, and, dangerous.
