Contest Moderator: I'm sure many of you will struggle with this one as much as I shall, so please explain your photo too. ( 5 years and 2719 days ago )
rbsgrl: Many of the descriptions are about longing for love, searching for it and having hope. The quote provided for us to capture is about giving up on love and not taking chances because of past experiences. Although tough to determine what the photograph should entail, I think the descriptions show that the goal isn't captured appropriately. ( 5 years and 2713 days ago )
lincemiope: Perhaps the photos are not right, because if one has read the book, Veronika knows that after the suicide attempt, she understands that there are a hundred Veronica.

the phrase indicated, in my opinion, is a misinterpretation
psychological, that a first reading denies all hope, but if one has read the book, knows that is not so

unfortunately my bad English, prevents me to explain myself better ( 5 years and 2713 days ago )
rbsgrl: I understand what you are saying however the contest isn't based on the book, it is based on a single quote. ( 5 years and 2713 days ago )
EmiK: Not only is this contest open to interpretation, it's also hard to vote on it. ( 5 years and 2711 days ago )

Howdie stranger!

When you open yourself to love, you have to let the past go but at the same time, take what you've learned and use it for the future. Don't let the past hold you back from opening yourself up to the possibilities of the future. (5 years and 2715 days ago)

Airport lounge, nothing to do but wait, looking forward to the trip, fearing it, plenty of time, but nobody is brave enough to interact with their fellow passengers. (5 years and 2715 days ago)
