When I think of “The Fault in Our Stars”, I always remember that moment when Hazel was explaining the concept behind “The Last Good Day” – the last day when you will feel good and then everything will crumble… you crumble. And I often think about this… it applies to all of us, isn’t it?
We never know when it will be the last good day we have, today, in a month or 30 years from now.
But we are obligated to remember that even if we are healthy, we still never know when our days end, and that’s not sad at all. It’s refreshing to remember that we have an expiry date, and we should do the most with our days before it.
But why am I telling you all that when I clearly wish to give you some “The Fault of Our Stars” quotes about love? Because it is the same with our relationships as well. We never know when (or if) that person will stay with us forever if they see their future with us the same as we see ours with them. And all we can do is to remember to appreciate every good day we have together and hope there are many good days ahead of us.
Enjoy some of my favorite “The Fault In Our Stars” quotes about love, life, relationships, appreciation, mindfulness, and more…
