Was it the happiest day of our lives? Probably not, if only because the truly happy days tend not to involve so much organisation, are rarely so public or so expensive. The happy ones sneak up, unexpected.
Perhaps grief is as much regret for what we have never had, as sorrow for what we have lost.
"I love you" is an interesting phrase, in that apparently small alterations–taking away the I, adding a word like lots or loads–render it meaningless.
Emotional intelligence, the perfect oxymoron!
From an evolutionary point of view, most emotions - fear, desire, anger - serve some practical purpose, but nostalgia is a useless, futile thing because it is a longing for something that is permanently lost.
The problem with telling people that they can do anything they want to do is that it is objectively, factually inaccurate. Otherwise the whole world would just be ballet dancers and pop stars.

I read a lot of F. Scott Fitzgerald. I love "Tender is the Night," and its atmosphere of doomed romance. He was one of the greatest prose stylists, with a wonderfully clear but lyrical quality.

"Live each day as if it's your last", that was the conventional advice, but really, who had the energy for that? What if it rained or you felt a bit glandy? It just wasn't practical. Better by far to simply try and be good and courageous and bold and to make a difference. Not change the world exactly, but the bit around you. Go out there with your passion and your electric typewriter and work hard at...something. Change lives through art maybe. Cherish your friends, stay true to your principles, live passionately and fully and well. Experience new things. Love and be loved, if you ever get the chance.

17Nur ein Idiot würde nicht an den Ort zurück kehren an dem er glücklich war.
Diejenigen, die wir lieben, verlassen uns nie wirklich, Harry. Es gibt Dinge, die kann uns der Tod nicht zerstören.
Those that we love never truly leave us, Harry. There are things that death cannot touch.
"Das ist das Problem mit dem Schmerz", sagte Augustus und sah mich an. "Er verlangt, gespürt zu werden."
Trauer verändert einen nicht. Trauer bringt den wahren Charakter hervor.
Wozu gibt's Tage? Tage sind, wo wir leben. Sie kommen, sie wecken uns, immer und immer wieder. Sie sind da, um in ihnen glücklich zu sein. Wo sonst sollten wir leben?
What are days for? Days are where we live. They come, they wake us. Time and time over. They are to be happy in. Where can we live but days?
