Hazel Grace, considered to be one of the brave ones. Not for
fighting heroically against the Dark Lord, or surviving the Hunger Games. But
for living with her choices, and being happy with them.
The Fault In Our Stars, begins with Hazel telling us her
mother feared she was suffering from depression. Merely because she was
actually just living every fangirl's real life.
"I rarely left
the house, spent quite a lot of time in bed, read the same book over and over,
ate infrequently and devoted quite a bit of my abundant free time to thinking
about death."
Rarely left the house? Check.
Spent quite a lot of time in bed? Hazel is speaking my
language!
Read the same book over and over? Guilty.
Ate infrequently? *stares at empty candy bar wrappers* This
is why I'm going to be kicked out of my house one day. Skipping dinner for
sugar.
Devoted quite a bit of your abundant free time to thinking about death- Wait
what? Okay, maybe not EVERYTHING applies here. Then again, not all of us are
suffering from cancer, like Hazel. NO, THAT WASN'T A SPOILER. Hakuna your
tatas. Our free time is normally spent online, bonding with other fan girls. Or
sleeping. Sleeping works just fine for me.
