Very advanced magic, so difficult that few wizards/witches could conjure up a true Patronus.

It is a general belief that only those who are pure of heart can cast Patronuses.

To be able to cast the spell you have to think of your happiest memory.


Which memory would come to your mind?


First kiss?

Wedding day?

First car you bought?

First time in another country?

First paycheck?

College acceptance letter?


Mine would be when Gohan turns Super Saiyan 2 for the first time. Reminiscing about the day, it was in the year 2000. I was in Jardim 3 at the time. let me check the American equivalent, according to google is pre-kindergarten.


During that year Dragon Ball Z was being exhibited for the first time in Brazil on Cartoon Network, on cable back then we had DirecTV. Was DirecTV a thing in America too?


Let me know.


My sister would pick me up at school, by that time we lived two blocks away from school, we would rush our way home to watch Dragon Ball Z it was aired at 5:30 pm.


Do you remember android 16 last words?


He was telling Gohan to take care of animals and all living beings and then Cell crushes his head with his foot.


Gohan was a pure-hearted kid, then he rages after seeing android 16 being crushed and he turns into Super Saiyan 2. I can still remember the scene vividly but before writing this story I confess I went to youtube to watch it again because is such an epic scene.


Do you know that feeling when you hear some song and you are instantly transported to some memorable moment of your life?




It works like a time machine, you can picture the whole scenario in your head. Of how your life was at the moment. You remember the feelings the good and bad moments you were going through during those days.


Nostalgia is such a strong feeling. Very powerful, indeed.


This memory is such a sweet memory in my head, but we cannot cling to the past. Life is about up and downs.


Eventually, we gonna struggle, and then we will have some happy and memorable moments. The sun will come out for every one of us.


Life is all about balance.


The conclusion is, I’m getting a Gohan Super Saiyan 2 tattoo.
