"Okay."
One word, right?
Wrong.
It' more than just a word, you know?
It's got a lot of emotion in it.
It's funny how just one word that consists of only four letters can describe such an infinitive, yet somehow undescribable feeling.
"Okay" has just been an everyday word, for the longest time for me. Just, yeah, okay.
There's this book, that's been adapted into a movie. "The Fault In Our Stars."
Heard of it? Of course you've heard of it.
'Till I completed that book, and watched the movie, "Okay", to me, was just another word.
You know what I love about the book?
The fact that their love story, Hazel and Augustus, I mean. Their love story didn't need a, like, a long punchline, or like a 'Forever and Always,' or 'For as long as we both exist, our love will exist, and even after all the world seizes to exist, I will continue loving you'.
No.
Their love is based on this one simple idea:
Oblivion is inevitable.
At Gus' prefuneral, Hazel says somewhere in her eulogy, "I will not tell you our love story, because like all other real love stories, it will die with us. As it should."
As it should.
I love that about it.
They both know that they're gonna die at some point, you know? Yet, they risk falling in love. Because, of course, one of them would die, and it would hurt the other. Most people don't want to hurt.
But that's the kind of love I believe in, the kind of love I look for. The kind that is ready to feel the pain and hurt and emptiness for the next five years, ten years-maybe even the rest of your waking moments on this planet-just to spend that one month with that one person you know you can never stop loving.
"Perhaps 'Okay' can be our 'Always'."
The kind of love that will speak for you, that will tell you, 'You don't need forever, as long as you've got each other.'
Okay, I'm not gonna lie and say I don't want forever with the boy that I love; I never want to let him go, ever.
But, I want to have that kind of courage and faith in myself, in the person I love, and in love itself, to let go, and say 'I'm ready for the impact.'
Love isn't easy- to find, keep or let go of.
"Oblivion is inevitable. And I'm in love with you."
The kind of love that gives you not the physical strength, but the courage to go on.
The kind of love that even disease and death cannot undo.
"Okay?"
