This is one of the most adorably brilliant things I’ve ever seen. Thank you @agdfan3 for taking the time to do this. You make it lovely and you’re a very bright place!

Because so many of you have sent me song suggestions for the All the Bright Places playlist/movie, I put them in a fan mix!
Is it just me or is Jake Bugg like really dreamily Finch-like?

One of Those Days
Everyone has those days, those days that stick out from the others. Days where you would rather be on your own, or days where you want to be surrounded by people. Days where you can’t stop smiling, or can’t stop crying. Days where you feel empty, or full, or empty and full. Just one of those days.
I’m having one of those days.
I just finished "All The Bright Places" by Jennifer Niven, and I wasn’t expecting the story to go the way it did. It kind of brought up things that I haven’t been able to get out over the past week or so. See, I’m terrible at losing people, at goodbyes, at the finality of it all, but strangely, death I am okay with. Death is something I can handle and come to terms with. Maybe because I know there is nothing I can do, maybe because I believe in some form of fate or life path or destiny.
Someone I knew committed suicide thirteen days ago, and I didn’t know him very well, but his best friends are a group of people I love very much, and I felt the weight of his death when I looked into their eyes, or saw their less than sincere smile, or felt the heaviness that came with their hugs. I didn’t know him very well, but his death will affect my life, and it already has. It has made me realize what amazing people I have in my life, and made me aware of what kind of person I want to be, what kind of friend I aspire to be to everyone in my life.
I also lost a friend today, realistically I lost him months ago, but today I saw someone I didn’t recognize when he spoke or looked at me. Everyone moves on, not everyone can stay, and this is a lesson I’m still learning and trying to understand, because I wish everyone could stay.
One of those days for me involved a lot of thinking, heavy but cleansing crying, reflecting, and a bit of emptiness, but not the bad kind of emptiness. Now I have space inside myself, to fill myself with happiness and aspirations and love and as cheesy as all that most definitely sounds, I feel okay.

No, actually, its a work in progress. I need to buy more sticky notes. Different colored ones. And also an illustration board. A huge one. Where I can stick all these notes haha (my mom’ll kill me if she sees this, so I covered it with the t.v so as for it to be inconspicuous)
You're reading All the Bright Places? That book oh my god! I finished it during my study hall, and I had to leave the room so I could bawl my eyes out.
Hey Nonnie!
I actually finished it almost a week ago and I am still not okay. It fucked me up. It was SO GOOD though. So good. *hugs you and gives you cookies to feel better*
