Who thinks Hazel shouldn’t have gone to Amsterdam? Was it a good idea? Was it a bad idea? Thoughts
Mod
It kinda did tho. She had the time of her life AND her and Gus finally became so thing
I think that it was better for her to go because she experienced something other than hospitals and treatments for a while; it made her happy.
Mod
She didn't really have the time of her life. She was greatly disappointed by Peter van Houten. Yeah, she and Gus did become a thing, but they were already kinda a thing. I don't ship them much, so I didn't really care about that actually.
Mod
Yeah, but what if she had an emergency? She was seriously ill right before going there. Anything could have happened. The risk was too much. If she wasn't that sick, it would have been a nice break.
She knew what the risks were, but she took it to do the thing she’s always wanted to do her whole life, yes it’s stupid but she knew she was probably gonna die anyways so why not take the risk.
She would have rather died doing the thing she has dreamed of for years than die a little later in a hospital, she was never really living and if that was what it costs to live then she was going to take the risk

She knew that she wouldn't regret that decision, Hazel knew the risks and she chose to enjoy the last moments she had instead of wondering what if..?
