Quotes & Quotes & Quotes

        I don't know how often I'll be posting, but I think at least for this week I'll try to write once a day. But maybe not, I'm going on a trip later this week.  I love quotes they make me want to read and think about the world and be interesting enough so that someday I will say something quotable.  I think mostly this week will be about me because I'm selfish and I just started but who knows maybe I'll be selfish all the time.  As you can see my page's background is covered in quotes.  All from John Green's book "The Fault In Our Stars." I love reading John's books they make me think more about the world. They also make me wish I was more like the people in his books, but I still have a lot of time (hopefully) so I can still be whoever I want to be. But I'm almost completely sure that that person is going to be me.

I am probably going to add more quotes as I find them.  Write in the comments what you think I should write about in my blog.  I don't know what to write about, maybe I could do rants or reviews or just plain out writing about what I'm thinking. I don't know maybe it will come to me.
