It's a metaphor Hazel Grace.

 Strange concept?

That someone could base his life on a metaphor?

I've been doing it for years.

Everything I do

Everything I write

Everything I say

Is for a reason.

It's got some metaphor

Or symbolism

Or reason behind it.

So maybe you think I'm just so pretentious

But that is the only order I have in my life

The only thing I really have control over

The way I dress,

The way I write,

The way I speak in riddles.

I have control in that situation.

And I need that sometimes.

When my life is hectic

And everything is falling apart,

It is possible to see more of them.

Living a metaphor,

Creating metaphors for

Life

And death

It's all so empowering.

And while it may be a metaphor,

I'll explain it.

I just need you to ask...
