After watching me before you, I accused Will of being selfish and called Clark dumb for falling for him.

Mostly angry at Will for choosing to die because he is stuck on a wheelchair and incapable of moving or using his lower region.

But when you think and consider his actions, he is right. Of what use is life on a wheelchair if my happiest memories involve living like a bird during summer.

The torture of not being able to carry Clark oh his arms and dance round the room. The pain of not being able to chase her down the heel or on the beach. The guilt of sleeping and knowing that you are the reason that she can’t be all of the things she wants because you got into an accident. An accident that made your paths cross.

Why live a motionless and paralyzed life if I can’t give back to the woman I seem to have fallen for a life of romance. All I can do is stare at her eyes and try to convey my emotions through them.

Being treated like royalty is all cheesy and sweet till you realize you will be carried,bathed,fed and cleaned after by another. You can’t even scratch an inch or adjust your pillow.

I ask again, of what use would a motionless life be if all the happy things in life require movement. Even a beggar does not always fancy pity not to talk about someone whose life does not give a choice.

Sometimes, Clark, you are pretty much the only thing that makes me want to get up in the morning

When Will said these ⬆️ words, I felt my emotions do a backflip and I couldn’t imagine how he felt.
Will Traynor may have been selfish to choose assisted suicide in the beginning of the film, but when you carefully look at his state, his pain and reasons, you will realize that he wasn’t being selfish after all. He could have easily changed his mind and decided to spend life with Louisa Clark. He could have stayed for her at least, but we all know that love is not about putting people who you cherish through pain, love does not include seeing the woman you love develop back pain or your aging parents worrying to death because of your health.

Sometimes you have to remove yourself from the equation so others can move on. It is hard.
