Attached.


Last week, I watched the movie adaptation of Dear John. I thought it was really good. I totally loved it. I saw John Tyree (Channing Tatum) and Savannah Curtis' (Amanda Seyfried) love for each other.Both Channing and Amanda played their respective characters well.

As much as I loved the movie, I thought I  needed to read the book. And I did. I fell in love with it. Though, I can't say that I agree with everything that had happened in the book. Just like what I said with my review, I fell in love and broken to pieces at once after reading it.

So, here what happens every time I get too much attach or if I excessively care- I cannot get it out of my system. I was spazzing about this book for 2 days now. I can't stop talking about it with my friends and I encouraged them to read the book. My friend, Tala said "Come on Ging, that's not real. It's just a book.". Though she's right I still can't help it.

I still can't move on. Before I wrote this entry, I watched the movie and read few chapters from the book again. I felt I was slapped when I reread the Prologue part of the book. John Tyree said "When I leave here again, I'll never come back." Therefore, John and Savannah never saw each other again as opposed with the movie. I was broken yet again.

Yesterday I had an epiphany. I realized that what happened with the book was the right thing. I don't want Savannah and John to see each other again just because Tim died. I want Savannah to pick. And with what happened with the movie, it seemed like seeing each other again is just a consolation and it just wanted to console the audience. Which is really wrong.

And when I saw "When I leave here again, I'll never come back.". Gosh. That is their last time together- the epilogue. I can't help being sad. I was attached with John's character too much and it pained me to see that he is alone forever. It is simply unfair. What's with that? They love each other but they can't be together? It simply destroyed my idea and vision about love.(cheesy and funny, I know.) I know I shouldn't let it affect me in whatever way but, sorry for me, it did. I don't just read to kill time, I read to learn things and experience them somehow and this book touched me in every way. AND IT IS UNFAIR.



Seriously, I think John Tyree will be one of my most favorite guy character of all time. I am grateful that I read this book and I still think it is one of the best. I'll try to accept the imagine as I think it was the best. And I still want you guys to read it. I swear, you'll love it and It wil;made you realize lot of things about life and sacrifice.
