"شهر کاغذی بود اما خاطرات نبودند"
— John Green
Simplified Meaning:
Imagine a place that looks perfect on the outside, like a movie set. The buildings might not be real or strong. They could be flimsy and easy to destroy. But what happens inside those buildings, the moments and experiences of the people, are real and meaningful. For example, you might live in a run-down neighborhood, but your childhood memories of playing with friends there are precious and unforgettable. Despite the place looking weak and temporary, the feelings and stories from that place stay strong in your heart. It reminds us that it's not the appearance of a place that matters, but the connections and memories we create there. Someone can use this idea to focus more on making meaningful experiences with loved ones rather than worrying about having a perfect-looking home or town. The essence of our happiness comes from the moments we share, not the physical surroundings.
