The chamber of secrets

Ooh, I kinda forgot that Chamber of Secrets is the funniest book of the series. Most credits to Gilderoy of course. The movie did not do enough justice to him. He was quite funny, yes, but a lot of memorable stuff got lost in the translation I suppose.

We all have our chamber of secrets. Probably (more like definitely) not the one like Salazar Slytherin built but something/someplace in our heart/mind where we have stuffed a few happy little secrets, shoved our dark, unsavory thoughts or actions and a lot of feelings that could not be shared or expressed due to the circumstances or limitations.

What starts off as a small bundle of eclectic stuff gradually and sometimes exponentially grows into an unwieldy infinitude. And at some point, it becomes so similar to a basilisk that looking at its eyes may take your life (excuse the exaggeration). Won't it be better to not let it get so huge instead?

Once we understand the issue at hand, maybe we could start addressing things one tiny bundle at a time and fix it if we can or just let go.

We have seen time and again that not everything is in our control. There's no use worrying about something that we know for a fact that we can't change. So why think about it, give it space and time? Let it go.

Let it gooooo (Belting off like Elsa)

Yup, started with HP and ending with Frozen, I'm becoming Benjamin Button, yes! (Ollivander would say Curious! Very curious! But I'm neither Harry nor Voldemort :P)

And I forgot talking about the good stuff like sweet gestures from someone that no one else noticed and we don't feel like sharing, tiny mischiefs and naughty stuff that we accomplished successfully without getting caught, etc. Keep them, nourish them and let them grow. They'll probably grow into a flowering plant or a fruitful tree. Let that tree take root and grow tall and wide and I hope it lights up whenever it is dark outside.
