“So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was a hurricane.” -John Green

“So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was a hurricane.”

                What crosses your mind when you read this quote? For me, it’s amazement, complete and utter amazement.  The fact someone could stun you, make you feel completely out of your mind, butterflies in your stomach and a frog in your throat kind of way is just extraordinary!  Even if that person isn’t fully yours, maybe they’re someone else’s, but it’s still a wonderful feeling.  Personally, I have been in this situation before.

 A guy completely swept me off my feet. He gave me the butterflies in my stomach, the feeling like I couldn’t talk, all while I had the sense that my mind was a complete jumbled mess, and it was perfect. I’d lie in bed at night trying to figure my way through the little bits of information I got from him and I would still come to a dead end. Just about every night we’d talk about what we wanted in our futures, often times they matched, and then we would wish each other the best of luck and go to bed. What a tragic and unromantic ending, right? The fact that we both have the same wants for our future, the fact we like each other and we still aren’t going to make it there. It’s understandable because this other guy, who I spent months running after, who barely seemed to care, silently but swiftly swept me away first.  Sometimes I don’t even know why I let him but personally I kind of didn’t have a choice, he just amazed me, he challenged me, and even though everything could end in a horrible Shakespearian tragedy, it feels right with him. He stuns me, and makes me feel how the character that says this quote does, and that’s why this is my connotation, my connection to this quote.
