The fault in our stars

   I have have just seen THE FAULT IN OUR STARS and obviously I know that there already are millions, billions of reviews about this film on the internet but still, I wanted to say something about it. As Augustus itself says: "I decided a while ago not to deny myself the simple pleasures of existence" And for me, thinking about this story is one of those pleasures.

   First of all, it is the first movie I cry and laugh with at the same time; something I am very grateful for because enjoying a totally made up story with such a passion is a gift, you can appreciate it or think that you will feel the same about other event soon. I chose the first one and hence name it "extraordinary", so I have the perfect excuse to cling on to it fearing  it will vanish.

               

   Secondly, I don't know if I am the only one that had this thought crossing my mind while watching the movie: "I want to rewatch this again but alone, in my room, at night and with the house completely quiet so I can cry as much as I want without having to worry about disturbing the whole cinema". When I am wrinting this it is 2 AM and I am too sleepy to expose myself to all of those emotions again but what I could bare was listening to the soundtrack with my eyes closed and try to fall asleep. Even only with the music I started to cry again (All of the stars by Ed Sheeran is just too much) and I decided to write this.

   And to wrap this up, "The fault in our stars" have taught me these: to enjoy every life pleasure (whatever those are for you) and to live in a roller coaster that only goes up, because you never know how big your infinity is and ...never forget to open your heart and feel.

   P.S: I heard someone say that John Green is one of the most quotable authors ever. I totally agree.

Power

How to conserve that feeling of power?

   If you are lucky, when you'll see a powerful movie scene or read a touching book, you may get that feeling of happiness because, suddenly, you are in the exact place you want to be. And later, you'll exit the cinema or close that book thinking you are capable or everything with a smile on your face.
   Well, when you feel this way, the second thing you want to do (after seeking that moment) is to keep it. I am going to be clear, it is impossible. But maybe if you grab your phone and try to write what you are feeling, when you reread it you will remember how that moment was.

Remembering something is not a way or relive a moment?

Happiness

Happiness is a choice, don't take it for granted but neither think you don't deserve it.

   Obviously, there are sometimes when it is OK to feel sad, when it is OK to release those sad emotions. But only if afterwards you teel yourself that, now, it is the turn for happiness.

   When something gets you mad or depressed, you are the only one who have the power to choose if that is going to bring you down, or if it will help you to see the bright side of life.

Remember to be happy.

Positive thinking

   I am a firmly believer that you can find some positiveness in everything: in every moment, in every person, in every single experience. Even within the most adverse situations. 
   So you can realize what you like and what you don't, the hard way though. But at the end, it is always positive to know yourself more in depth.
   Also, the experience will help you to move forward.

Road trip.

   I love road trips because of two things. The first one: it is a cheap way to visit new places and spend the day out. The second: I love being in the car and read a book (if I am not driving, of course), or just look through the window... It is very relaxing to me.
   In fact, doing this "little" trips is one of my favourite things to do. So this Easter holydays I enjoyed with my family one of those and I decided to take a few pictures. 

   Here they are:

Going there.

Discovering the coast.

Hello spring!

Sunset begins.

Find those ordinary or simple things you like, and make them your favourites.
