My Second Love

I solemnly swear that I am up to no good!
This is my sixth blog and I am truly enjoying the experience of sharing pieces of my life on this platform as I am free to share them however I see fit and I also could also remember these stories to myself which also makes me feel good.
I have already shared the feelings I have about books in these blogs. Today, however, I would like to focus my attention on a particular book that followed my young life and I still find myself thinking, plotting about future stories related with this book or just thinking different endings that the story could have.
Previously I shared feelings about the first love of my life so following that logic, I named this blog "My Second Love" and I will try to thoroughly express the feelings I felt and feel about this part of my life.
If memory still serves me right, I must have been around 12 when I read this book for the first time, my sister got it as a gift for one of our birthdays (either mine or my brother's since I remember it was warm at that time of the year), I am trully happy with the incredible choice she made.
I got hooked with the book so quickly it was fascinating, the story, the characters, everything written seemed perfect. Of course I am talking about "Harry Potter" series and the first book from the series that I read was "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets". I didn't choose to start from the second book, it was by accident, however, looking back it was probably the right one to start with as I always found its story far more compelling that the first one (which I also love).
Love might not be the right word to describe the feelings inside me when I went to the store to get my first book of the series. I would call it passion or even something bigger (lost for words...).
To me it seemed like the story had actually happened and someone is just telling it as it happened. I thought it might be real. The characters gave the book so much life it still amazes me, the plot full of twists and well designed mind boggling events that always kept me at the edge of my seat. The story of the book I would dare say is as old as the human race, the bad guy ("The Snake, Voldemort" I will try to describe the story of the snake/bad guy/evil on another blog) versus the good guy (the prince on the white horse, the heroe, Harry..again I will try to deal with the good vs evil on a seperate blog).
A bad guy who is so terryfing, people don't dare to even speak of his name and a good guy who is very approachable and compassionate.
You probably have read something that made you feel so good you had to go back and read it again and again just to try and fully grasp the emotions it brings to you. I certanly did so with many books but with the Harry Potter series it was different, I did it so many times I would remember lines from the books. The wait from one book to the other was the most painful thing I had to endure back at those days (of course that's not entirely true, however, that's how I felt back then) and the joy of having the new book in my hand was out of this world.
I don't want to go into details analyzing the books or the characters as I don't want this blog to turn into something I didn't intend to when I started it.
Just a final thought, I wholeheartedly belive that no human should get old without reading Harry Potter so if you haven't read it, hurry up and do so! If you're a parrent push your kid to read it, I guarantee that both you and them are going to love it.
Mischief managed!

World Archery Championship, Copenhagen 2015

I want to begin this blog, by apologizing to you guys, I haven't been able to write that much lately, I don't have a lot of time and I cannot seem to find motivation to write, however, whenever I find the time and I start writing, I love it. I am also training for an upcoming important competition, that is taking a lot of time out of my schedule and work hasn't been easy either. I promise one thing though, I won't stop writing, I may delay blogs but I will keep em coming. Today my story goes to the beautiful Viking land. I want to share the story of my time in Denmark, taking part in the World Archery Championship there. 2015 was a big year, I had a lot of training and multiple international competitions and I have to admit I got tired a little bit by the end of the season. This Championship was at the end of the season, I was tired but I had to compete here because this is where the best athletes come and compete, you cannot miss a chance like this and that was the r...

My First Love

Everybody across Europe loves it, we in Kosova aren't different. As young kids we all fall in love with it and continue to love it for years and years after. Our first great love is Football ! After the war in my country ended, families started to settle on their homes and started doing many different things to help in their kids development. I was quite lucky to live in a city at that time, since the opportunities that it gave us were substantially higher that kids who lived in villages. Among the great things that we had was the football club. The club re-started its activity on the first summer after the war and started accepting young footballers on their football academies soon after. I started playing football for my local team "Drenica" when I was 7, and it definitely was my first great love. Training was a very fun activity and I can truly say that from training to be a football player I have learned a lot of things about human bodies, especially mine. (When...

The birthplace of Philosophy

Studying, training and youth activities were enough activities to make my days full. I would always be busy, however I loved it. One thing that when I was younger I didn't really like was working a lot, I didn't mind to do one thing at a time but when it came to doing multiple things at the same time I didn't really enjoy it, growing up I started to enjoy it better and better everyday. And at 22 (this is happening in the year 2015) I learned how to live by doing multiple things daily. I felt I was growing as a man working on these things and I absolutely believe that everyone should do this at one point in their lives.  -Philosophy: Going back to high school, when I first started to learn Philosophy I felt how far the human mind has gone and how little to nothing we as individuals know. Learning about the worlds best philosophers, about philosophies. about world views developed from the greatest minds to ever live among us, make no mistake some of those minds have caused ...
