The Fault in Our Stars - John Green

          As a habit, i tend to jot down lines from books i read. For this one, i find the story really moving. However, after reading it, it somehow felt short. I just think the story isn't finished yet.

Anyway, these are the line that i liked. :)

I fear oblivion. I can be pretty blind to other people’s feelings.

I’m trying to observe young love in its many-splendored awkwardness.

From hideous romance to prentious fiction to poetry.

There were always more bad guys to kill and more good guys to save. New wars started even before the old ones are won. It was exciting to live again in an infinite fiction.

That’s the thing about pain… It demands to be felt.

I‘m in love with you, and I‘m not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I‘m in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we‘re all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we‘ll ever have, and I am in love with you.

I think forever is an incorrect concept. You are an incorrect concept.

The world is not a wish-granting factory.

Some infinities are bigger than other infinities.

It‘s hard as hell to hold on to your dignity when the risen sun is too bright in your losing eyes.

Writing does not resurrect. It buries.

Pain is like fabric: The stronger it is, the more it‘s worth .

Grief does not change you. It reveals you.

Almost everyone is obsessed with leaving a mark upon the world. Bequeathing a legacy. Outlasting death. We all want to be remembered. I do, too. That‘s what bothers me most, is being another unremembered casualty in the ancient and inglorious war against disease.

I want to leave a mark. 

Second Chances

          GOD IS GOOD... ALL THE TIME. :) Second chances are hard to give, but they are always given to those who deserve them. I'm very thankful that even if I've committed a lot of mistakes, there's always another way of making up for what I've missed. It's always a learning experience. You can't deny the fact that everything in life has a reason. You just have to learn how to use them.

Sparks Fly

          You'll never know fate unless you believe in it. When two people meet, it only means that such incident is expected. No matter where, when, why and how... It's inevitable. No wonder people keep on searching for their special someone. They simply know that they exist. Whatever the time or wherever the place, as long as they're with their destined partner, everything sparks with a feeling of uncertainty. Yet, the feeling's eternity.

Risky Opportunities

          In life, there will always be challenges that you have to take. There will always be problems that you have to face. There will always be decisions that you have to make. Life is full of risky opportunities. You'll never know what each one holds until you grab one and have them before you. Never step back and keep moving forward. There's always room for something new.

Almost Tragedy

          Last night, i had a near death experience. It was a mere illusion of darkness and frailty. Bedridden, with blankets on, it felt like i was slowly fading. My body was numb and my mind's quite hallucinating creating figures before me. I was fighting for consciousness. I tried moving my hands, but it was hopeless. I prayed... begging. After some few seconds, the dizziness was gone and i dozed off to sleep.

What was that? Was it a sign? Or just another delusion? That i do not know. But it was definitely not a dream.

By Chance

          Funny how random things make your day. Simply because they come in an unexpected manner. No matter how much problem you have, there's always a reason to smile.

Worse than Worst

          As my body weakens, I find myself slowly withering before it comes to its final call. My eyes are tired. My breathing's uneven. My voice is hoarse. My knees are shaking. I'm feeling cold, yet there's no wind. My stomach's grumbling, but I'm not hungry. My heart's pumping, but I feel dead.

Pretence

          As I was walking down the train station, a woman walks in her black 5-inch stilletos before me. Based on her looks, i can see that she's a working lady. She carries her bag on her right arm and some folders and envelopes on the left. By the way she walks, she seems to be used with wearing heels. As we go down the stairs, i noticed something. Every time she takes a step down, her pointy heels slightly tilts. I tried to gain on her to see her face. The moment I saw it, one word flashed on my mind...

PAIN

To all those people who think that women only wear heels just to impress, that's not even half the truth.

Keep Walking

          Just when I've accomplished something worth achieving, there comes new obstacles that test my faith and strength to face new challenges. It's how life works. You just have to have the courage and ability to stand still and face everything with a smile on your face.

Uncertainty

A tear can mean a thousand things. Some say it's a sign of weakness. But no, not always.

A tear of joy or sadness. A tear of laughter or loneliness. Perhaps, a tear of pain or gain.

You can always doubt what a tear can mean, but you can never doubt that it can make a scene.

And You Call It Fate

Illusions

Unexpected dreams are means of undying thoughts. They perceive what the mind creates that can't be portrayed, yet, in reality.

Unbearable

          Crying doesn't necessarily mean that you're weak. Sometimes you just have to release all those extra baggage you put up within yourself. Lately, this has become my habit. I just can't keep some things to myself anymore. But when will these unstoppable emotions give me peace?

A Glimpse

And there's this line from an old stationery set...

"On a crystal blue morning, there is a peace that only you can know."

Shortcomings

          You don't know what it feels like when you're time is slowly becoming shorter. Sometimes, you just wanna give up and you get tired of fighting for every single minute of your life. Even if you try to be happy, or at least look like you are, you can't deny the fact that you're suffering from negativity and sadness brought by thought and what ifs.
