don't love widely, just deeply

The first time we felt that death was close to us was when we watched Struggle, and a character in it jumped off a building and died. The second time I felt that death was close to us was when I recalled the death of my grandfather. At the time of his death, it was only grief, and then I felt that death was everywhere.
The third time I felt death was close to us was the death of the younger brother of an old friend's boyfriend at a very young age.
The fourth time, was my favorite in the whole high school, the first best friend of the opposite sex, when he passed away.
The fifth time was when my grandmother died.
I sometimes fantasize about what would happen if I died one day, and how it would affect my relatives and friends around me. Sometimes thinking too much into the whole person is not good.
I'm not like Gus, I hope everyone remembers, I hope to live a different life, I just think that death is a scary thing, and belief can make death less scary.
From my own unhappiness, I think very little. There are many external reasons. We care, care, and even be willing to change ourselves to cater to people and ideas that don't really matter. We worry, but sometimes we don't worry about ourselves. We care, and sometimes we are a burden to others. Our words sometimes turn into criticism and blame.
I found that what I cared about was not worth caring about, I was always calculating, quantifying the love I received, maintaining that number, and trying my best. But now that I think about it, only the love of my parents and the love of my lover is the happiest thing in the world.
So for unhappy people, the advice this movie can give is to love your lover hard.

    It's embarrassing... It really looks like a high-end version of Xiaohonghua with Xiaohonghua

The Fault in Our Stars quotes

  • Isaac: Augustus Waters was a cocky son of a bitch. But we forgive him. Not because of his super-human good looks or because he only got 19 years when he should have gotten way more.

    Augustus Waters: 18 years, buddy.

    Isaac: Dude, come on, really? I'm assuming you have a little time, you interrupting bastard. You interrupt in the middle of my eulogy... You're supposed to be dead! But when the scientists of the future come to my house with robot eyes and they tell me to try them on, I will tell those scientists to piss off 'cause, Gus, I don't want to see a world without you in it. I know I don't want to see a world without Augustus Waters.

  • Hazel Grace Lancaster: Hello. My name is Hazel Grace Lancaster. And Augustus Waters was the star-crossed love of my life. Ours is an epic love story and I probably won't be able to get more than a sentence out without disappearing into a puddle of tears. Like all real love stories, ours will die with us, as it should. You know, I'd kind of hoped that he'd be the one eulogizing me, because there is really no one else... Yeah, no, um... I'm not gonna talk about our love story, 'cause I can't. So instead I'm gonna talk about math. I'm not a mathematician, but I do know this: There are infinite numbers between zero and one. There's point one, point one two, point one one two, and an infinite collection of others. Of course, there is a bigger set of infinite numbers between zero and two or between zero and a million. Some infinities are simply bigger than other infinities. A writer that we used to like taught us that. You know, I want more numbers than I'm likely to get, and God, do I want more days for Augustus Waters than what he got. But Gus, my love, I can not tell you how thankful I am, for our little infinity. You gave me a forever, within the numbered days. And for that I am... I am eternally grateful. I love you so much.

    Augustus Waters: I love you too.
