It is our choices … that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.- J. K. Rowling
I just finished re-reading the Harry Potter series for like the bazillionth time, and this quote really stuck out this time around. Dumbledore said it to Harry in the book Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. I think it stuck out this time around because having read the books so many times, I’ve come to realize that Dumbledore, like most people is flawed. He isn’t perfect. He made some poor choices in his youth, but he was able to overcome them and make much better choices in life. A lot of people don’t seem to get that. The choices we made do define us, to a point, but we have the ability within us to make different choices and change our path. It isn’t easy, but it’s worth it!
