John Green
…God, it’s over. Takumi, you gotta stop stealing other people’s problems and get some of your own.
John Green
I mean, it’s stupid to miss someone you didn’t even get along with. But I don’t know, it was nice, you know, having someone you could always fight with.

John Green
It is worth it to leave behing my minor life for grander maybes.
John Green
Mental health days only exist for people who have the luxury of saying 'I don't want to deal with things today' and then can take the whole day off, while the rest of us are stuck fighting the fights we always fight, with no one really caring one way or another, unless...
