i didn't love it as much as you did

When I asked my friend if I could borrow her copy of the book she looked at our other friend and they both went silent. 

My sister had recently been diagnosed with cancer and they didn't think i should read it. But i did anyways.

I didn't find it all that sad. 

I didn't even cry when i watched the movie. 

maybe its because I'm numb to it now. maybe its because i don't have sympathy for those who get so much attention for having cancer. maybe its because I'm bitter.

whatever reason it wasn't my favorite book, but it had its moments.
