Myths and fantasies have a way of traveling along like the word of mouth. Most of our Halloween costumes are based on concepts and myths of the past. That is why we see children and teens dress up as vampires, or werewolves, or even witches. Quite a lot of movies and tv shows have also been directed to portray the new dimension of mythical creatures. And adding the magical aspect to such myths just makes the cherry on top. Starring actors are Nina Dobrev, Ian Somerhalder, and Paul Wesley, ‘The Vampire Diaries’ is one of the most successful supernatural tv series to have ever aired.

The 171 years old diaries
“Don’t underestimate the allure of darkness. Even the purest hearts are drawn to it.” – Klaus Mickaelson
Stephan Salvators’s diaries cover all events from the 19th century onwards. Well, to be more precise, events of his life and the ones close to him. The humans did not last long because, well they were humans. Stephan on the other hand is a Vampire. Turned by his second love Katherine Pierce alias Katerina Petrova. But that is not the only thing ‘The Vampire Diaries’ is about. It is a neatly woven piece of magic and love.
‘The Vampire Diaries’ is a story about friendship, love, priorities, loss, hope, and life. Each problem the protagonists face is definitely different from what we humans face in real life. But the point that is put forward is that each problem that karma throws at you is a test of your true abilities. Once you master yourself, you do not need to feel alone or abandoned. That is because, in that process, you end up finding your real friends, true love, and real happiness.
