Quote by John Green

I was gawky and she was gorgeous and I was hopelessly boring and she was endlessly fascinating. So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was hurricane.

I was gawky and she was gorgeous and I was hopelessly boring

Summary

In this quote, the speaker describes the stark difference between themselves and someone they are attracted to. They see themselves as uninteresting and ordinary, embodied by the metaphorical representation of drizzle. On the other hand, the person they admire is captivating and enchanting, symbolized by a hurricane. This comparison emphasizes the speaker's feeling of being overshadowed and insignificant in contrast to the person they desire. The quote portrays a sense of admiration, vulnerability, and a realization that they may not match up to the extraordinary qualities of the other person.

This is given. It is not learned.
