An Abundance of Perfection

“What is the point of being alive if you don't at least try to do something remarkable?” 

So i've just finished reading John Green's 'An Abundance of Katherines'. Truth be told it wouldn't have been my first pick. But given my undying obsession for the amazing work of the god that calls himself Mr. Green, when i received it as a birthday present, I knew I would enjoy it.

The book was everything I loved and more. Of course the quotes in it are amazing and are so very true. I guess it made me ponder the profound truths of life.

I always struggle to move forward in life. As in I feel like 98.6 percent of the time I'm just living in the past (It's all awfully Gatbsy to tell you the truth). But I guess I was challenged by the book in the sense that it explores what it means to feel empty, to miss someone.

And so finally I came to the following two conclusions with the help of the book; 

“You can love someone so much...But you can never love people as much as you can miss them.”

“I don't think you can ever fill the empty space with the thing you lost....I don't think your missing pieces ever fit inside you again once they go missing.”

Enough said.
