wallflower
| <<-- : 07.15.03 : -->> |
8:26 a.m.so i finished reading the perks of being a wallflower. i cried like a motherfucking baby. i had to close my door. i killed the last part of the book, i couldn't put it down. i was curled up on my bed with tears streaming down my face.
i don't know if it was the last remnants of my post-E depression or if i really connected with the character. i kept imagining that charlie was jesse. his character rang true to how jesse described himself in high school and how remnants of him still existed when i was with him. it was heartbreaking. i kept wanting to see what happened to charlie and hoped that everything was going to be alright. it was as if i was reading about jesse's life. i knew that they had two completely different stories, but from the minute i started to get to know charlie, i saw jesse.
and yes, i miss jesse. jesse's eccentric tales from high school is partly what made me fall in love with him. and so i fell in love with charlie.
i know that jesse is far gone and i know that jesse's life took the turn for the worse whereas charlie's went down a different path. and obviously the character of charlie has a different destiny.
all in all, the book was great. i highly recommend it. i don't think that it will have the same effect on you, but i'm sure you'll find the character's innocence and curiosity for life to be moving. and maybe you'll see your own charlie as i have seen mine.
i definitely long to feel infinite.
