we'll take on the world // looking for alaska

« Until I got here, my only friends were the last words of the already dead. Like William McKinley, the third American president to be assassinated. He lived for several days after he was shot. But towards the end, his wife started crying and screaming, « I want to go too ». With his last measure of strength, McKinley turned to his wife and spoke his last words, « We are all going. » And then Alaska had to go, because I screwed up and the Colonel screwed up and we let her go and she slipped through our fingers. We will always live with things done and things left undone that day. If only we could see the endless string of consequences that result from our smallest actions. But we can't know better until knowing better is useless. I thought at first that she was just dead, just darkness. Just a body being eaten by bugs. I still sometimes think that the afterlife is just something we made up to ease the pain of loss, to make our time in the labyrinth bearable. But here's what gives me hope. If you take Alaska's genetic code and you add her life experiences and the relationships she had with people, and then you take the size and shape of her body, you do not get her. There is something else entirely. There's a part of her greater than the sum of her knowable parts. And that part has to go somewhere, because energy once created is never destroyed. And if Alaska took her own life, that is the hope I wish I could have given her, to understand that anything in life is survivable, because we are as indestructible as we believe ourselves to be. So I know she forgives me just as I forgive her. We cannot be born, and we cannot die. We can only change shapes and sizes and manifestations. I know so many last words, but I'll never know hers. I'll never know her thoughts in those last minutes. We'll never know if she left us on purpose. But the not knowing will not keep me from caring. Alaska's last words to me were: « To be continued. » And she was right. I must continue I choose the labyrinth, even if there is no way out, even if we're all going, even if everything falls apart. I will always love Alaska Young, my crooked neighbour, with all my crooked heart. Thomas Edison's last words were, « It's very beautiful over there. » I don't know where « there » is But I believe it's somewhere. And I hope it's beautiful. »
12 years old me cried reading the book for the first time.
17 years old me cried again while reading the book again after the death of a friend.
nearly 20 years old me cried watching the series these past days.
the power this story holds…it’s incredible. of course i was excited to see what they did with the adaptation but i didn’t expect it to be that good and that faithful to the book.
this is such a simple video, i just put some of my favorites quotes and scenes together especially in the end but i really needed to edit this story (and you know that there might be some more videos about it to come)
by the way, thank you « looking for alaska » for giving me my inspiration back, i missed it this past few weeks.
as always, I’d love to know what you think!

being a teen is so damn hard, and John Green somehow perfectly encapsulated it with all of his books.

[@max9785]

Being a human is hard😂

[@mandiraborah4092]

As a teenager, I can't explain how much I relate from this character of Alaska Young. The way she was always so energetic hiding so much of grief and pain inside her is just really heart wrenching. Sometimes I really wish that she wouldn't have died. I wish I could've get to know her better. Idk.. I just can't get over this and Alaska specially. I love her so much :)

[@lexw9692]

I love how this covers so much on grief; the pain and the process of it.

[@workinprogress9483]

one of the best things about the book (i haven't watched the show yet) it doesn't end when she dies but it also covers them coming to terms with her death

[@sefda3861]

I feel like the quote: “we accept the love, we think we deserve” fits her well.

[@harshrathod12]

Tbh I am so connected to this story that every time I read it I cry I feel pain but I kinda love it ♥️

[@harshrathod12]

Thanks ☺️ but I really wanna ask why do we love getting suffered or why we love that pain I know it's hurting but it's what we want to enjoy or feel again that dark yet loving pain ♥️?

[@harshrathod12]

Well I am all crazy lol nvm don't think I am psychopath😬

This is one of the most heartfelt shows I've seen i wish he would've just had a happy ending with Alaska but that doesn't usually happen anymore

[@elenacudmore1699]

The book should be called “to be continued”

[@SharperTip]

People would think it's a sequel if it was named that

[@MarissaCooperButPoor]

this is one of the best shows of 2020, no question about it.

[@Skiddlescout]

I'd dare to call it one of the best shows of the 2020's so far now. There's still 5 years and some change, but it's on pace still

THE best edit on the series thank you

[@Yas-ji8oj]

i'll never get over this history

[@RachelProductions.]

This is really beautiful. I have no words to describe what you make me feel with this edit because is a mix of happiness,sadness and anger. I loved the book 5 years ago, and when I watch the show many memories came to me. In general, people will think that the plot or story is not complicated, because it is not. It's simple. But the message that comes to transmite and everything you learn from this story goes far beyond that those stories that are complex. You show all this in your edit and I have to say that you did it so good that you make me cry and laugh, and think in all those little things that involve this story. Completely beautiful💙💙💙

[@laviniadumitru1728]

this show made me cry like i have never before

[@butterflyhippie123]

This was stunning and moving.

Looking for alaska was the best drama I've ever seen. I am a Korean fan of the cast of this drama. This drama gave me sadness and joy. Thank you for making such a video.

[@dreamgirlvids4831]

Goodness! This is amazing! When I first read the book i felt this overwhelming sense of sadness but hope too. And I just feel like you captured that so perfectly/ I think John Green would be proud of this masterpiece.

I’ve lost two friends to accidents. Both times were in the middle of the school year. One was almost 5 years ago. One was last fall. The reeling and fall out of it never really goes away.

Loved the video 💜. It's amazing to know the impact the book has in people. It wasn't my case when I read it but watching the show now... definitely move something in me and it was beautifully done

[@skyofuntamedfire]

Wow this is such a beautiful video! 😍 I love that you used this song! And starting the video with the labyrinth quote was so on point! And using all these scenes... you've created such a meaningful video! I've also read the book, but I'm yet to see the show. And this video brought back all the feelings 😭 "I'll always love Alaska..." 😭💔 Aah what an incredible tribute! I'll definitely get to the show soon!

[@theladyofisell]

thank you so much dear, it means a lot! starting the video with the labyrinth quote was kind of obvious for me since the moment i began the video, the whole story is related to that quote in a way

[@MissEleanorVane]

Ok le moment où j'ai vu le titre je me suis sentie triste... parce que pendant au moins dix ans, j'ai eu ce livre dans ma bibliothèque... sans jamais le lire. J'étais à cette époque plus attirée par des livres fantastiques/historiques bien qu'il m'arrivait d'en lire des livres comme ça aussi, et ce pauvre livre à attendu une décennie entière dans ma bibliothèque à prendre la poussière si bien que j'ai fini par le vendre, me disant que je ne le lirai probablement jamais. Et maintenant je suis triste et je le regrette parce que ta vidéo est magnifique, parce que ça a l'air si émotionnel et intense et que je n'avais aucune idée que cela avait été adapté en série. Ta vidéo m'a donner des frissons et m'a redonner envie de rechercher a nouveau ce livre et de le lire, même si j'ai probablement louper quelque chose quand j'étais jeune. Cette vidéo est MAGNIFIQUE, elle dégage une telle émotion et je suis tellement heureuse qu'on puisse utiliser librement cette chanson parce que tu a su la prendre et en faire quelque chose de MAGIQUE ! C'est vraiment aussi adorable de mettre des liens des autres vidéos avec cette chanson, et owww merci d'avoir mis la mienne !!! C'est adorable :D

[@theladyofisell]

honnêtement ce livre m'a aidé plus d'une fois à surmonter certains moments difficiles et je pense qu'il continuera dans le futur. et tu n'as pas loupé quelque chose dans ta jeunesse en ne le lisant pas à ce moment, c'est que ce n'était peut-être pas le moment et si jamais tu retombes dessus maintenant, il ne sera jamais trop tard pour le lire alors :D et merci, ça me fait toujours tellement plaisir de lire tes commentaires!

Alaska was guilttripped, gaslighted and expiated by her abusive father. A perfect example on how toxic people can ruin others lives. Don't let anyone do that shit to you, it's bullying.

Is there someone who finally find a way out of labyrinth of suffering?

[@newtoniantime8804]

Short answer: Death. This is why death is so beautiful. Long answer: Learn to enjoy the labyrinth. Don't pause at a dead end when something hard happens to you. Things can turn around when you reach a corner, a new path to discover. Life been heavy? Remember that death is then easier for you. Stop looking for the way out of pain, the labyrinth will guide you out when your time comes. Look for a new ways in the labyrinth. Learn from young kids; Test and Discover. Don't be scared of death because this is nothing you can do anything about. Accept, smile and welcome your future. Try to sense something new if you unhappy. Listen to your breath.

She died?

[@letsgolesbians4143]

Yeah.. I read her death in the middle of class & started crying...

[@hazzasbakery]

Yep. In a car accident. It was her mother's death anniversary and she forgot and was driving to the cemetery when she crashed. She was also drunk, but I forgot if it was before or after she rushed out of the room. Some people who didn't read the book thought it was suicide, but it really was an accident.
