The Perks of Being a Wallflower (part 2)

“we accept the love we think we deserve.”

“So, this is my life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be.” “And in that moment, I swear we were infinite.” “Things change. And friends leave. Life doesn't stop for anybody.” “So, I guess we are who we are for alot of reasons. And maybe we'll never know most of them. But even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them.” “I would die for you. But I won't live for you.” “There's nothing like deep breaths after laughing that hard. Nothing in the world like a sore stomach for the right reasons.” “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, that doesn't really change the fact that you have what you have.” “I am very interested and fascinated how everyone loves each other, but no one really likes each other.” “It's just that I don't want to be somebody's crush. If somebody likes me, I want them to like the real me, not what they think I am. And I don't want them to carry it around inside. I want them to show me, so I can feel it too.” “I don’t know if you’ve ever felt like that. That you wanted to sleep for a thousand years. Or just not exist. Or just not be aware that you do exist. Or something like that. I think wanting that is very morbid, but I want it when I get like this. That’s why I’m trying not to think. I just want it all to stop spinning.” “Enjoy it. Because it's happening.” “She wasn't bitter. She was sad, though. But it was a hopeful kind of sad. The kind of sad that just takes time. ” “This moment will just be another story someday.” “It's strange because sometimes, I read a book, and I think I am the people in the book.” “And I thought about how many people have loved those songs. And how many people got through a lot of bad times because of those songs. And how many people enjoyed good times with those songs. And how much those songs really mean. I think it would be great to have written one of those songs. I bet if I wrote one of them, I would be very proud. I hope the people who wrote those songs are happy. I hope they feel it's enough. I really do because they've made me happy. And I'm only one person.” “We didn't talk about anything heavy or light. We were just there together. And that was enough” “And I guess I realized at that moment that I really did love her. Because there was nothing to gain, and that didn't matter.” “He's a wallflower. You see things. You keep quiet about them. And you understand.” “And all the books you've read have been read by other people. And all the songs you've loved have been heard by other people. And that girl that's pretty to you is pretty to other people. and that if you looked at these facts when you were happy, you would feel great because you are describing 'unity.” “please believe that things are good with me, and even when they're not, they will be soon enough. And i will always believe the same about you.” “It's much easier to not know things sometimes. Things change and friends leave. And life doesn't stop for anybody. I wanted to laugh. Or maybe get mad. Or maybe shrug at how strange everybody was, especially me. I think the idea is that every person has to live for his or her own life and than make the choice to share it with other people. You can't just sit their and put everybody's lives ahead of yours and think that counts as love. You just can't. You have to do things. I'm going to do what I want to do. I'm going to be who I really am. And I'm going to figure out what that is. And we could all sit around and wonder and feel bad about each other and blame a lot of people for what they did or didn't do or what they didn't know. I don't know. I guess there could always be someone to blame. It's just different. Maybe it's good to put things in perspective, but sometimes, I think that the only perspective is to really be there. Because it's okay to feel things. I was really there. And that was enough to make me feel infinite. I feel infinite.” “I walk around the school hallways and look at the people. I look at the teachers and wonder why they're here. If they like their jobs. Or us. And I wonder how smart they were when they were fifteen. Not in a mean way. In a curious way. It's like looking at all the students and wondering who's had their heart broken that day, and how they are able to cope with having three quizzes and a book report due on top of that. Or wondering who did the heart breaking. And wondering why.” “It was the kind of kiss that made me know that I was never so happy in my whole life.” “Just tell me how to be different in a way that makes sense.” “I am both happy and sad at the same time, and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be.” “I just need to know that someone out there listens and understands and doesn't try to sleep with someone even if they could have. I need to know these people exist.” “Sometimes people use thought to not participate in life.” “I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.” ― Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower

The Perks of Being a Wallflower

I really love a quote from the movie 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower" "WE ACCEPT THE LOVE WE THINK WE DESERVE" how about if we know that someone deserves better? we can always try to tell them :)

welcome to my fairytale

BECAUSE EVERYONE IS THE MAIN CHARACTER OF HIS / HER STORY. and so, this is mine. welcome to my fairytale! ♥ “When I was a little girl I used to read fairy tales. In fairy tales you meet Prince Charming and he's everything you ever wanted. In fairy tales the bad guy is very easy to spot. The bad guy is always wearing a black cape so you always know who he is. Then you grow up and you realize that Prince Charming is not as easy to find as you thought. You realize the bad guy is not wearing a black cape and he's not easy to spot; he's really funny, and he makes you laugh, and he has perfect hair.” ― Taylor Swift ♥ “I really feel that we're not giving children enough credit for distinguishing what's right and what's wrong. I, for one, devoured fairy tales as a little girl. I certainly didn't believe that kissing frogs would lead me to a prince, or that eating a mysterious apple would poison me, or that with the magical "Bibbity-Bobbity-Boo" I would get a beautiful dress and a pumpkin carriage. I also don't believe that looking in a mirror and saying "Candyman, Candyman, Candyman" will make some awful serial killer come after me. I believe that many children recognize Harry Potter for what it is, fantasy literature. I'm sure there will always be some that take it too far, but that's the case with everything. I believe it's much better to engage in dialog with children to explain the difference between fantasy and reality. Then they are better equipped to deal with people who might have taken it too far.” ― J.K. Rowling ♥ “There is the great lesson of 'Beauty and the Beast,' that a thing must be loved before it is lovable.” ― G.K. Chesterton #qotd
