The Serendipity of Reading Books by John Green

There are some people who have been living their life trying to find their great perhaps or trying to figure out a way to escape the labyrinth. There are some people who have been living their life searching for someone who would give them a little infinity of happiness or a forever within numbered days. There are also people who kept finding a formula to understand what’s wrong with them and they even created a theorem to prove it. But I am different from these people. I am someone who’s looking for an abundance of my stars’ fault.

In my fourteen years of my existence, I think that I am too imaginative of what will be my future and the things that are going on around me. I overthink about my thoughts and how to prove that I am right about it. I kept on trying to find a way to my great perhaps. I kept looking for the real me but all I do was seek for an escape out of my labyrinth. When I die, I want the people to remember my famous last words. These things are unexplainable, so unexplainable that for me, it doesn’t make sense anymore.

At a very young age, I have awakened to the fact that I am a side effect of the earth’s oblivion and at the same time, I realized that I am no Hazel Lancaster to find the Augustus Waters of my life. There are people who have given me a little infinity of happiness and indeed it was little. There are people who have given me forever within numbered days except that they didn’t die, they only have set an expiration date to their feelings for me, I have cursed myself for having this fault in my starts but then, I have realize that some things are worth being the privilege of being hurt by it because it made me realize that the best things in life comes in the disguise of the worst things.

And the last thing, I already had enough of the abundance of the out of the world cosmos of my imaginations. It’s so out of the worlds that even creating a theorem would not be enough to explain it. Even if I try to anagram the words in my life, it would not be enough. Maybe the unfortunate things in my life are already abundant for me but it makes sense though. This abundance made me learn and realize how to manage the things that I deserve and the things that I don’t deserve. It made me compute for the right amounts of pain and happiness in this world.
These are the things that I learned from John Green. These are the things that helped me see a clearer path to understanding myself and my can’t be understand thoughts. From Looking for Alaska, The Fault in Our Stars and to An Abundance of Katherines, I have known something. I have found a sudden realization of happiness out of these books and actually, I never expected to find this kind of feeling. That’s the serendipity I found on John Green’s books. Thank you, John Green.
