I used to crave the attention of others
I cared what they all thought.
But something helped me get over that feeling;
The feeling of emptiness when others ignored me
The feeling of need for others to notice me.
Harry Potter saved me, but it wasn't that alone.
It was the discussions I heard about it,
Especially the ones by MuggleCast.
Jamie's sarcasm,
Andrew's perverted (yet funny) jokes,
Laura's attempts to get everything under control (usually).
It was all so wonderful.
Now, I'm not lonely.
Now, I don't care what others think.
I just want to turn on my iPod and listen to
MuggleCast.
I've never met them, yet I feel like I've known them
Forever. Almost as long as a brother or sister.
Maybe I'll get over both in time.
But that's not the thing that matters!
The thing that matters is that they helped me
To get over my craving for attention,
My need for people to like me.
I'm not lonely anymore.
