The Fault In Our Stars.


This is the Trailer of the upcoming movie The Fault In Our Stars, which is a book from the bestseller John Green. The book is a bestseller, I've read it myself and it's one hell of an emotional novel. The book and the movie basically exploded in the media world, and became viral.

The book is about this 16 year old girl named Hazel Grace, Hazel has cancer. She goes to a support group for children living with cancer because her mom makes her go. There she meets Augustus Waters, and she falls madly in love with him. Not gonna spoil too much of the story this is a book you really have to read by yourself. And trust me it is not what it looks like.

A part of the book takes place in Amsterdam, John wrote that part when he lived in Amsterdam for 3 months. Which meant the crew had to come to Amsterdam which meant I could maaayybeeeee meet this amazing writer. Oh what a pleasure living in Amsterdam.

Yes that is actually John Green with me in a picture. oh myyyy.
So yeah that's sort of what happened, I good friend of mine found out where they would be filming and she and I visited the set and actually were aloud to stay on the set while shooting. I've never experienced something this intense and much fun. The scene was shot with Ansel Elgort, who plays Augustus, and Shailene Woodley , who plays Hazel. And as soon as they stopped shooting and the actors got a little break from filming I could hear Ansel singing "and I, I will always love youuuuuuuu" out loud which was amazing haha.


I am looking forward to the movie which comes out the 5th of June in Amsterdam and the 6th in America. I recommend the book, it is honestly written so well. And the story is just very touching, it makes you hate but love John Green for writing it. And if you want to know what I mean by saying that you gotta read it...

What defines you?

TED, which means Technology, Entertainment, Design, is a meeting, 4 days long. Motivational speakers get invited to give a maximum 18 minutes presentation of their life. They talk about something they think is interesting, or a project or just simply something they think other people need to know about. I love to watch them myself, they give me inspiration.

So I want to tell you about this young woman named Lizzie Velasquez. Lizzie has this syndrome that, besides her, one other person in this world has. So it is a syndrome we don't know much about. But she basically doesn't gain any weight. So she's super skinny, and she can eat whatever she wants without gaining weight. Lizzie got named "the ugliest girl alive for being that skinny. People all over the world told her to kill herself. But she decided not the let her syndrome define her.

So at TED she spoke up about how she turned all this negativity in her life around, and let it make her stronger.



Enjoy.
