I thought, lying there, that I might love him for the rest of my life. We did love each other—maybe love was never something we were in, but it was something I felt. I loved him, and I thought, maybe I will never see him again, and I'll be stuck missing him, and isn't that so terrible.

"we never really talked much or even looked at each other, but it didn't matter because we were looking at the same sky together, which is maybe even more intimate than eye contact anyway. It's quite rare to find someone who sees the same world you see..." - Turtles All the Way Down by John Green
★★★★★
my favourite book of all time. there. I've said it.
I'm sad that I finished it so quickly because now it's over and I can't read it for the first time again. It took less than 30 hours so it might be one of the quickest times that I've read a book. I've never related to a character so much, as someone with OCD I felt like maybe just maybe someone else understands what the inside of my head is like... anyway, I liked this book very much x

“You remember your first love because they show you, prove to you, that you can love and be loved, that nothing in this world is deserved except for love, that love is both how you become a person, and why.”

“No one ever says good-bye unless they want to see you again.”
Turtles All the Way Down
I finished reading Turtles All the Way Down today, and I hate but not hate John Green for writing this book. I absolutely loved it, and I related to Aza way too much. However, I think that’s because I’m also diagnosed with OCD. The panicking of not doing a certain ritual because something inside you is making you play on their rules and forcing you to do it because it says you will die if you don’t.
I wasn’t a big fan of Daisy. I didn’t hate her; I didn’t like her. I don’t have any strong opinions of her in any direction. I do enjoy knowing that her and Aza remain friends long into their lives.
Then, there’s Davis. I really like his character. He’s how I was when I was in high school except he had a blog. It’s what I’m doing now because I want to. I like the idea of being somewhat anonymous and just writing what you think and feel. I have a journal that I already do that with.
My interpretation of the ending is that Aza and Davis do end up together later in their lives. I think that because 1.) the obvious last sentence of the book and 2.) an older Aza says “because I know a secret that the me lying beneath that sky could not imagine” after the younger Aza says that she might not ever see Davis again.
I’m a sucker for a happy ending.

Re-reading Turtles All the Way Down. I think my favourite part of the entire book is Aza’s fear that she is a fictional character.
Because, of course, she is a fictional character.
It’s just… the way that medical language describes mental health, although it has it’s uses, is so clinical and cold that describing the difference between reacting to a stressor and chronic anxiety as “irrational” worry…kind of doesn’t quite get it.
Like let’s say your anxiety presents itself like this. Your loved one is late. You expected them to be home by now, but they’re not. They haven’t texted a reason. You haven’t heard from them. So your mind starts spinning and you imagine them dying in a horrible car accident and that’s why they’re late and they might never come home and they could be dead right now.
Given that you have no evidence anything bad has happened, and there are many reasons they might be late that have nothing to do with harm coming to them, this could be characterised as “irrational” worry. But the chances of them being involved in a car accident are not zero.
The chances of the bad thing you fear happening are never zero.
So how do you live with it?
You have to recognise that your emotions are there for a reason. Fear has a purpose, it’s their to protect you, but if you find that fear has stopped protecting you and it’s started hurting you instead, that’s when you have an anxiety problem.
The nature of anxiety (in my experience) has nothing to do with whether or not the fear is warranted or plausible, and everything to do with whether or not the fear is helping you deal with the problem (which is what fear is supposed to do!) or getting in your way of dealing with the problem.
The medical language of “irrational” worry can be unhelpful to you when you’re in that mindset, and it might make it harder for you to recognise when worry is anxiety, because it’s just not going to feel irrational. It will feel like a valid response to a real danger.
And Aza’s anxiety that she is a fictional character, when she is, of course, a fictional character is just such a good way of representing that mindset.
And the story itself — Aza is afraid that being a fictional character means that none of this is real, none of this means anything. But even though the fear is true, the conclusion that leads her to fear it is not.
She is a fictional character. And all of this is still meaningful. All of this still matters. All of this love is still real. All of this hope is still meaningful.
Your fear is justified, but the conclusion you draw from your fear is untrue.
Not only is it a fantastic literary way of depicting an anxious mindset, it’s a fantastic literary way explaining how to live with an anxious mindset.
I don’t know if Alaska Young ever made it out of the labryinth of suffering. But you know what? I think Aza Holmes did.
That’s a pretty damn good story.
That’s a hell of an ending to an anthology.
#turtles all the way down#john green#tatwd#okay i know tatwd isn’t TECHNICALLY the end to john green’s anthology#but i mean like his fictional works only okay#i don’t know if there’s a term for an authors body of work but only the novels#like… there’s oeuvre#for their entire body of work#but like.#what about just the novels. just the fiction.#sorry the anthropocene reviewed we live you but like. you know what i mean.#idk if tatwd even marks the end of john’s fictional stuff tbh#he might come out with another one#but like. the parallels between alaska young and aza holmes?#it FEELS like an ending#and a bloody good one at that
