Lost stars

How I love this song 

 
sometimes I wish I was as dreamy as the writer of this song 

AGADIR

Three month already here in Agadir, it feels like just yesterday we arrived, time passed so quickly.

During this time, I lived things and felt things I didn’t experience my whole life, because of them I feel more grown up now. working at a summer job for the first time, traveling alone, transferring from a university to another which wasn’t easy at all made me realize I’m twenty years old I’m not a kid any more. Moving from the city where I lived since my birth wasn’t easy I miss so much my friends but Agadir is a really beautiful city I think I just need more time to get used to its people.

 “Dear God,” she prayed, “let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. Let me be gay; let me be sad. Let me be cold; let me be warm. Let me be hungry …..have too much to eat. Let me be ragged or well dressed. Let me be sincere be deceitful. Let me be truthful; Let me be a liar. Let me be honorable and let me sin. Only let me be something every blessed minute. And when I sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.”

Books this month: The fault in our stars-Looking for Alaska

                                         

During this month I’ve read two books by the same author: Jean GREEN

Jean GREEN is one of the famous authors of the young adult gendra, he’s also well ‘known for his and brother YouTube channel “thevlogbrothers” , they make really fun and interesting videos, I love the fact that this channel connects the author with his readers.

Back to the books, I’ve read “The fault in our stars” and “Looking for Alaska”, I loved the stories of both books and I liked how real the characters were I got attached to them easily in spite of the fact that I didn’t like or didn’t understand some of their actions well they smoke, drink, have sex easily like it’s a normal thing to do, I was shocked especially that the characters are teenagers maybe that’s what we call a cultural shock.

There is a thing I noticed while reading the books is that there are some similarities between the stories which make me wonder if Jean GREEN’s other books have the same plot, well I’ll have to read them to figure that out, which I’ll definitively do because in spite of the cultural shock I had I did really enjoyed reading both books, and because of them I changed my opinion about the young adult gendra.
