strength

Things happen.
You can't stop them.
You might as well just learn to enjoy them and learn what brought them here.
One thing's for sure, you will grow stronger.

We are limited only by our thoughts.

review

So lately I've been indulging myself with this book titled 'The Fault In Our Stars'.

It's really a very beautiful book.

Metaphorically.

The way John Green writes, it makes you wonder a lot about life.

There are parts in this book which I find hard to understand but nonetheless, it is beautiful.

Anyway, there are dozens of beautiful quotes, phrase or whatever you call, in this book.

But there is this one paragraph which I find really, really meaningful and I just wanna share it here.

'Much of my life had been devoted to trying not to cry in front of people who loved me, so I knew what Augustus was doing. You clench your teeth. You look up. You tell yourself that if they see you cry, it will hurt them, and you will be nothing but a sadness in their lives, and you must not become a mere sadness, so you will not cry, and you say all of this to yourself while looking up at the ceiling, and then you swallow even though your throat does not want to close and you look at the person who loves you and smile.'

Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.
