It is so hard to leave—until you leave. And then it is the easiest goddamned thing in the world.

Paper Towns is an amazing deconstruction of the manic pixie dream girl trope.

I don’t understand how anyone could read “The fundamental mistake I had always made…was this: Margo was not a miracle. She was not adventure. She was not a fine and precious thing. She was a girl,” and not understand that the whole of point the book is that Margo is not a mpdg and that Q is wrong for treating her like one. The whole of the book is that Margo wanted to cultivate this image and persona but ultimately it just makes her feel worse.

This quote from Margo summarizes a lot of it: “I was the flimsy-foldable person, not everyone else. And here’s the thing about it. People love the idea of a paper girl. They always have…Because it’s kind of great, being an idea that everybody likes. But I could never be the idea to myself, not all the way.”

Growing up, I felt this so much. All of this pressure to be funny and smart and pretty and perfect, but the truth is that no one can be all of those things all the time. We are all people, with all of the complexity that that entails. When we pretend not to be, we lose out on having people love us for all the parts of ourselves.

So much of it is related to being a woman too. This pressure to make ourselves smaller so that we can be a supporting character. Every time I show a man that I know something he doesn’t, I can feel how uncomfortable (at best) and angry (more likely) they are. Paper towns is a great reminder that I am not here for anyone else’s development. I am my own story.

i’m aware of john greens tumblr again and just thinking about how in 2016 i made a tumblr account that i was expressly not supposed to make because i wanted to make a post about how i noticed that john green quoted that one line from “where i lived and what i lived for” by henry david thoreau a lot (“live deep and suck the marrow out of life”) and i remember being like does he like 1) poetry, 2) henry david thoreau, or 3) (and the most exciting) dead poets society?????

it’s a core memory tbh. it was the summer i reread every one of his books back then in one week and then my best friend compared me to margo roth speigleman because apparently i was a manic pixie dream girl to him.

anyway idk if mr green will ever see this but i would still like to know if there was a reason it was always that line

#dead poets society #john green #henry david thoreau #margo roth spiegelman #paper towns #looking for alaska #the fault in our stars #this is slightly embarrassing but 2016 me HAS to know #it’s haunted me ever since guys #if john green likes dead poets society that’s important information

That's always seemed so ridiculous to me, that people want to be around someone because they're pretty. It's like picking up your breakfast cereals based on color instead of taste.

-Paper Towns

A quote from Paper Towns by John Green. So simple. So real. So true. So underrated.

Oh bullshit. You didn't come here to make sure I was okay. You came here because you wanted to save poor little Margo from her poor little troubled self, so that I would be oh-so-thankful to my knight in shining armor

John Green, Paper Towns

paper towns ruining my life again

'We switched positions, her hands on my shoulders and mine on her hips, elbows locked, two feet between us. And then we fox-trotted some more, until the song ended. I stepped forward and dipped Margo, just as they'd taught us to do at Crown School of Dance. She raised one leg and gave me all her weight as I dipped her. She either trusted me or wanted to fall.' -PAPER TOWNS, JOHN GREEN

It took me three years to read Paper Towns. I dropped 14 bucks on the e book and it sat on my iPod touch. I hate that goddamn book. I'm pretty sure Q in the book created Q Anon in his universe. I think Marco's going to kill someone. The only good character is the kid whose parents collect black Santas.

"Margo always loved mysteries. And in everything that came afterward, I could never stop thinking that maybe she loved mysteries so much that she became one..." - Paper Towns by John Green (2008)

★★★☆☆ Paper Towns makes me think of high school - which is nice and not nice at the same time. it was nice to re-read this and take a little step back in time x
