When did you last let your heart decide?

Thanks to the trials coming up in early September, I barely have time to breathe these days. My life revolves solely around college, meals and my studies. And I have this strong craving for good, addictive novels all of a sudden. Such terrible timing, I know.

Times like this, I wish I had nothing to do. No academic obligations or whatnot. I just wanna sit down, at home, on my couch with snacks and tea, and read my day away. It's the closest and cheapest form of joy, in relative to paradise. 

I'm fighting every urge to throw everything aside and finish The Fault in Our Stars, despite having told the major, and I mean MAJOR, spoiler. It's so authentic, so simple and pure, that I just can't not finish it. I'm squeezing in half and hour before bedtime to slowly get it done with.

So I'm gonna abandon this post and start reading (although I have a test tomorrow).

My favorite paragraph so far: 

“I’m in love with you, and I’m not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I’m in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we’re all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we’ll ever have, and I am in love with you.”

It's really simple, super straightforward. Nothing much to ponder about, no lines in between. He just said what was on his mind, and it was enough.

It's simplicity at its best. :)
