Victoria AveyardI fear being alone more than anything else. So why do I do this? Why do I push away the people I love? What is so very wrong with me? I don’t know. And I don’t know how to make it stop.

This quote, taken from the book "The Fault in Our Stars," is about the author's struggle with cancer and the death of her mother. The poem, written in part by John Green, is about Hazel Grace Lancaster, a 16-year-old with terminal cancer who wants to die. She feels that she must be dead so that she can finally find peace in death.
Hazel faces many challenges, including her own mortality, her inability to comprehend what life after death is like, and her feeling of love for others when she herself cannot experience love. The quote shows how Hazel must overcome these obstacles to find peace in life.
