"Never let me go" and some thoughts.

I've spent the last couple of days watching films and laying in my sofa. One of those films was "Never let me go" and the last scene from it really sink into me. It is a monologue Kathy has with herself:


I come here and imagine that this is the spot where everything I've lost since childhood is washed up. 
I tell myself if that where true and I waited long enough... then a tiny figure would appear on the horizon across the field and gradually get larger until I'd see it was Tommy. He'd wave and maybe call... I don't let the fantasy go beyond that. I can't let it. I remind myself I was lucky to have had any time with him at all. (...) Maybe none of us really understand what we've lived through or feel we've had enough time.

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.

        'The Fault In Our Stars' New Scenes       WHEN I FIRST READ THIS PART I LITTELY GIGGLED LIKE A CREEP BC I THOUGHT "talk dirty to me"

   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.

Divergent.

   I know I am a little bit late in all this Divergent mania, but this Easter holydays I decided that I was going to read the book before seing the film, and so I did. 
   I finished it within a couple days and I am already reading Insurgent. I have to say that I loved it, not only because of its story but because it remembered me when I read things such as Twilight and introduced me again in this teenagish/young literature that I enjoy so much.
I am becoming obsess again with something (which is not a very difficult thing to do to me) haha
   I am looking forward to see the film! (I have already watch the trailer too many times)
Here it is one of my favourite quotes from the book:
