everything feels wrong.
”
I think that if I ever have kids, and they are upset, I won’t tell them that people are starving in China or anything like that because it wouldn’t change the fact that they were upset. And even if somebody else has it much worse, it doesn’t really change the fact that you have what you have. Good and Bad.
Stephen Chbosky; the perks of being a wallflower
The Perks of Being a Wallflower
I never understood, until now, what it meant to have a favorite book. I’ve read numerous books that I loved but numerous talented artists but I’ve never felt the way I feel right now. When I was in high school, I read The Perks of Being a Wallflower for the first time. I remember loving it so much, enough that I asked my mother to get it for me last Christmas. The other week I was bored and picked it up for the first time. I became reading it slowly. I lost track of reading it because I’ve been so busy but today I read half of the book.
As I look back on it, I feel so happy. I finally know what it feels like to read a book and feel like you’re life has actually been changed. It’s not like I can relate to Charlie or Sam or any other character in the book. It’s just something in the way the book is written that makes me feel, “infinite.” It’s such an amazing feeling, even better then Charlie describes it in the book.
I hope one day that I can write a book, or article, that changes someone’s life. Something that someone can read during two extremely different time periods in their life yet still have the same underlying feeling, happiness. Yeah, I’m in such a different part of my life now then I was in high school but I still feel like the same girl. I’m grown up now and in love with someone new and I have no morals and new hopes and dreams but I’m still Marisa from Long Island. I’m still Marisa who just wants to be happy. I’m still Marisa who just wants friends like Sam and Patrick. I’m still Marisa who wants to be loved. I guess some things will never change…
This is really breathtaking.
Everyone should watch this. It’s a short film made by a 17 year old from Australia, it’s so beautiful.
