As the days and nights pass by into the past, and the weeks change time and time again, it's soon that you mark the end of the second month of your stay in the house of the mad. You have started to try and grow more comfortable in your new home, looking for ways you can pass the time and perhaps get small moments of enjoyment and escape. While time has passed, you have had little success in gaining happiness the happiness that you seek.
"Do something for fun, play with other children, read books, even run if you find it fun. Just do something you want to do for enjoyment."
The words of your therapist ring through your head, some of the few words that you hear that truly had a source. You had tried to do as he said, hoping to gain the happiness that you had once felt, in a time that seemed so long ago. While he told to try and play with some of your piers, you had never really fit in with other kids beforehand. So it was hard to consider actually fitting in with them now, so you moved on to other ideas. At one point you did briefly consider juggling, a suggestion from one of the voices in your head, you dismissed the idea and you eventually settled on the idea of reading. So you read and you read, even trying to read some of the more advanced and higher grade books from time to time. You still got lost in some of the larger, more esoteric words.
Even though you had been reading for most of the month you weren't bothered all that much by your inability to grasp some of the words and concepts in the books that you read. It was, after all, only a single month of trying to dig into the books, not nearly enough time to try and digest some of the information you were reading. Perhaps if you concentrated on it over the next couple of months you would be able to learn more, perhaps not. It all ended up depending on what happens, and if you have any troubles from the voices in your head.
Thought while the books you dug through didn't let you learn as much as you would have liked, you did feel a small light of happiness at times, when some of the books were enjoyable. It seemed that your therapist actually new what he was talking about. Walking over to your bookshelf, you ran a finger over the books, looking for one to read. A small thought courses through your body, as you find a common theme throughout all of your selections. You shake your head as you pull out your book, it was one that you had not yet read. Settling down in your bed you start to prepare for the night.
Who knows, maybe the next few months would be better.
You could only hope. As hard as that was to do at times.
To speed things up, as I realized this is going to be boring as all hell waiting for hogworts or an event to happen. So instead of just a single month passing I'm moving it to half a year.
What will you be trying to do for the time period? Pick as many things as you wan't, but the more that you do the harder it will be to actually succeed.

My mind went blank on the book part, just wasn't able to think of different genres. The book thing is to try and get a handle on some smaller details of your personality.
