And even if she says no, and really means yes, then quite frankly she’s playing games and isn’t worth the price of dinner.
Things change. And friends leave. Life doesn’t stop for anybody.
Even if we don’t have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there.
There are other people who have it a lot worse.
I am really in love with Sam, and it hurts very much.
I just wish that God or my parents or Sam or my sister or someone would just tell me what’s wrong with me. Just tell me how to be different in a way that makes sense. To make this all go away.
But at one point, Craig was talking about something, and Sam turned to me and smiled. It was a movie smile in slow motion, and then everything was okay.
The sound of the radio fades to nothing because the waves just can’t reach.
I was in my bed trying to figure out why sometimes you can wake up and go back to sleep and other times you can’t.
I was in the shopping mall because that’s where I go lately. For the last couple of weeks, I’ve been going there every day, trying to figure out why people go there. It’s kind of a personal project.
The fights are always the same.
I wish I could stop being in love with Sam. I really do.
I love my mom. And this time, I told her I loved her. And she told me she loved me, too. And things were okay for a little while.
I really do love my sister. Especially when she’s nice.
My sister was the one who told me where babies come from. My sister was also the one who laughed when I immediately asked her where babies go to.
The thing is some girls think they can actually change guys.
When you think back to your first kiss, your hair is perfect and she was wearing a cool outfit. We remember it with restraint and we remember it with style. We remember it as idealistically as you can think.
Well, I think that part of being young is not exactly knowing why you do some of the things that you do. And it’s by exploring your life or experimenting or making mistakes and learning from them hopefully that you start to forge an identity.
As people get older, we all know, you get married and you have a child and that becomes your family, but when you’re 16 years old, especially, your family is your friends.
I found, through the process of doing ‘The Perks of Being a Wallflower,’ that I really love directing movies and I love writing books and so this will become the centerpiece of my career for the next ten or twenty years. Doing these adaptations.
I wasn’t raised very religiously because my parents went to Catholic school, but I do believe in God very much. I just never gave God a name, if you know what I mean. I hope I haven’t let Him down regardless.
