Dear John by Nicholas Sparks

"'Dear John,' the letter read. And with those two words, a heart was broken and two lives changed forever."

This book made me cry so much. I love how the story is very simple but it...touches your heart and it reveals what unconditional love really is. It's an easy read :) prolly a good book to read when your bored. Although the ending is predictable it's still nice to read it over and over again. haha. I'm telling you, it's such a sad book. :( Sparks touches human emotion. hands down :D I am now reading the notebook :D

“We all think we’re going to be great and we feel a little bit robbed when our expectations aren’t met. But sometimes expectations sell us short. Sometimes the expected simply pales in comparison to the unexpected. You got to wonder why we cling to our expectations, because the expected is just what keeps us steady. Standing. Still, the expected’s just the beginning, the unexpected is what changes our lives.”

“Maybe we're not supposed to be happy. Maybe gratitude has nothing to do with joy. Maybe being grateful means recognizing what you have for what it is. Appreciating small victories. Admiring the struggle it takes simply to be human. Maybe we're thankful for the familiar things we know. And maybe we're thankful for the things we'll never know. At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing is reason enough to celebrate.”

“We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today’s possibility under tomorrow’s rug until we can’t anymore, until we finally understand for ourselves like Benjamin Franklin meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping. And that even the biggest failure, even the worst most intractable mistake beats the hell out of never trying.”
