I was feeling a bit too much like Hazel Grace today, non-cancerous, but chronically ill as ever. My heart raced to 180bpm and my breath was cut short, so when I went to the hospital’s infusion clinic for IV fluids I brought along The Fault In Our Stars in every way possible (in my hands and on my shirt of which I painted myself)
In Hazel’s words, my third best friend is an author that doesnt know I exist. That author is John Green. John, I don’t know if you’ll ever stumble across this post, but I just want to personally thank you for everything. Thank you for writing the books I’ve lost myself in time after time, the books that I never stop reading. Thank you for all of your youtube videos, thank you for nerdfighteria. Thank you for all you’ve done to decrease world suck, because surely you’ve decreased the suck in my life. Thank you for helping all the others that you’ve helped. Thank you for existing.
DFTBA,
xx Eiryn

“But aren’t you sorry you will never see
A tulip that would make you offer all
You own for the layered, translucent promise
In its brown paper wrapper?”

I read it, and I need that word, but right now my book is out on loan to a friend of mine.
if y’all could help, it’d be greatly appreciated. answer this. or message me. but I would like to know what the last word of the acknowledgments is
John Green says something.
(From the TFiOS audiobook.)
DYING. FRENCH THE LLAMA THIS IS GENIUS.
Note: If you have not finished TFIOS and do not want spoilers I advise you not to listen to this.
I wish I had thought to buy the audio book. I HAVE SO MANY REGRETS.

For the first time in my life, I cried for something fictitious.
And I can’t even explain why.
IT’S TOO GOOD!!!
I need to savor it.
It’s the first book I’ve read in a while that was a page-turner while also forcing me to think. I mean fight club was good, and it made me think. But this is a whole different story.
This hits me where I live.
I need to savor it.
I need to look at the words, decipher their meanings, how they string together to weave this story.
It’s too fantastic to just tear through.
So I’m stopping for a bit. I’ll do some homework maybe. I’ll let my mind turn over these ideas for a while.
Then I can go back and continue on my way.
I will say this though: if the first 50 pages defined the book, then this would be the best book I’ve ever read.
