Two Million Thoughts

The past two days had been unexceptionally boring to me. It felt like there was a certain cloud of gloom and despair hanging in the sky, following my every move. The best way to explain it is through an analogy of the Half-Blood Prince, where the Muggles felt this unexplainable hopelessness and irritableness for several weeks, as Dementors (invisible to them) loom in their areas. (This is out of topic but the accidental bridge snapping in the US reminded me of the unexplained bridge snapping in Half-Blood Prince which was really caused by Death Eaters.)

Yes, Dementors. I think Dementors were sucking every ounce of happiness and life in me. I think they were giving me their signature Kiss(es) of Death. For how would you explain my sudden irritableness (I just hate anything and everything from the way my photocopied notes came out, to the damn policeman in the street, to the kilometer-long notes in my book, etc, etc) and irrational hopelessness (like I’m gonna be stuck in a purposeless life forever because I am taking up law, etc) since last Friday?

So, today, I got rid of all clouds of doubt and forced myself to think of happy mem’ries (t’was really hard, mind you), and managed to conjure my own patronus charm to temporarily rid of the Dementors while I am still fixing my dilapidated self. And just like Harry’s wand of holly, I think it will take more than just a Reparo spell to repair the damage.
