Sometimes you read books that change you and teach you things and you think that maybe you were supposed to read that book to know those things and feel that way and laugh and cry and let it’s events stir in your mind when you’re not reading and when you finish reading. Maybe people write books because they want to change lives, they want to make a difference and because they have important things that they need to share. All anybody ever wants is to be remembered.
I cant even. The Fault In Our Stars is the saddest book I have ever read. I have been crying for half an hour :(
It’s sad that people never realise how lucky they are with what they have until they see what other people don’t have, or they lose it completely. This book has actually opened up my eyes to a lot of things. Life is so precious and so many people take it for granted.
You cant just sit there and think this is life. You cant just sit there and think ‘Well yeah, I’m living’. You cant just sit there and watch life pass you by… get up and do something! And when you do finally do something, make sure it’s not because that’s what everybody else is doing. Make sure that it makes you happy and full to the brim inside. Please, please make sure it is something you’ll look back on and be proud of.
Texting sucks. Facebook chat is terrible. And Skype sucks, too. All of these devices made to keep in contact with loved ones just suck because nothing is as good as the real deal. After spending every single hour in each of the past 8 days with you, I can easily say that I want you by my side every day. I want to fall asleep with you every night. I want to open my eyes in the morning and see you laying there. I want to be able to kiss you whenever I feel like it. I’m not saying that making a life together will be easy but it will most definitely be one hundred percent worth every little damn thing.
I love you.
What’s strange is the fact that if I had never gone to my primary school friend’s 16th birthday party, I wouldn’t know some of the boys you went to high school with. What’s strange is the fact that if it weren’t for my stupid all girls catholic high school carting us off to ‘World Youth Day’ and me bumping into your school friends, you probably wouldn’t have ever gotten my best friend’s MSN address. What’s strange is the fact that my best friend knew your best friend, which probably would’ve resulted in us meeting at her 18th birthday party. What’s strange is the fact that if it weren’t for you looking through your best friends top friends on a stupid social media site like Myspace and finding my best friend and looking through her friends to find me, there’s a fairly large chance I may not have met you yet. What’s strange is the fact that if it hadn’t happened how it happened, we probably wouldn’t be together right now. What’s strange is the fact that all of these little things happening, ultimately, could’ve lead me to you regardless.
It’s thoughts like these that make me certain of the fact that you are meant to be a part of my life.

I’m not sure if you know how thankful I am for your patience but you should because I am. Really. From day one you have been the most patient person in this universe. You talked to me as if I were an adult, as if I were an intelligent individual with a beautiful mind. You asked me questions to get to know the real me. The me that I hide from everyone else. You told me stories about your life, you shared everything with me. You made me laugh during the most disheartening, stressful moments. You taught me that it’s okay to be fragile sometimes. You waited for my trust, and you waited ever so patiently for my love. You are so persistent, so kind and so loving incredible boy.
And to you the most important thing is how much money someone has. There is more to life than money. I know money makes things a lot easier and I know that you just want me to have a secure future but I am not going to make a decision about spending the rest of my life with someone based on the amount they have in their bank account.
At least now I know where you get it from.
To wake up in the early hours of the morning and feel you sleepily searching for me in the darkness with your hands and enveloping me in your arms when I have slipped from your grasp is something I could very easily get used to having every single night for the rest of my life.

I don’t need a fairy tale to be happy; to feel complete. I just need you. I need you by my side, everyday, helping me get through this thing we call life. I don’t need it to be like those fairy tales you read in books, you’re my very own fairy tale and it’s a million times better than any book could ever be.
I want to go to sleep wrapped in your arms. I want to wake up with the sun shining on our faces, our bodies tangled into one. I want to live every day with you a part of my life. Oh baby don’t you know, it’s so much better with you.
I am so grateful for the things that got you here; for the people that made you who you are; for the things you’ve had to experience in life that have helped shape you into the most incredible human being I know.
Happiness is a choice. You are as happy as you decide to let yourself be. You can let the bad shit bring you down or you can focus on the good things you have and get on with your life and finding your happiness.
