AGAIN! :)

I have had a desire to read The Perks of Being a Wallflower for quite some time, and I am happy to say it did not disappoint. I basically couldn't put it down.

The story is told in a series of letters. We have no idea who the letters are being written to, only that they are written by "Charlie" starting on the eve of his first day of high school. Charlie is a wallflower: observant and not too apt in the art of participation. He makes friends with a unique group of people, probably the group of friends I would I have had actually. The letters chronicle the inner dwellings of his mind throughout his first year of high school.

Now a little fun fact about me, all throughout my childhood and even young adolescence, I adored stories told in a diary format. They provide a personal connection that you just can not get from most other works. Almost like the author is speaking directly to you. We never do find out who it is Charlie is talking to, making it all the more easier to fall into the story.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower is look into that sensitive side even the hardest of us have. That soft spot of insecurity and uncertainty. While definitely more relatable to an actual "wallflower", even an extrovert can find a connection to our lovable Charlie.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower delves into a new perspective on life, one more of us should grow to understand. Charlie is a visionary really, being able to see past the hardships and remain optimistic. At the end of the novel, I was left with an overwhelming feeling that everything was going to be ok, and I believed it.

Clearly I highly recommend this read. Its fast and fulfilling. :)

I'm happy. Its funny but my day actually didn't start off so well, I actually grabbed my journal to go outside and vent, but somehow something just changed as I sat there among the green of my backyard and my entry actually ended rather positively.

I am a very lucky girl. I may not have the best luck but, lucky? Yes I am most certainly am. You see I have so much to be thankful for and while it may not seem like much, it truly is. I have love.

To my friends, I love you. You are all so beautiful my heart sometimes can't take it you know. I am thankful for you guys on a daily basis.

Jessica, You are amazing. You really are. Honestly I love everything about you. In truth I wish we were a bit closer, because you really seem like someone whom I could just share anything with and we could be really close friends. I want us to be so much closer and Im going to start doing things about it! I have always admired you, a true compliment from me for I fully admire very few people. You are someone I look up to and respect. Someone I would want my children to be like. You have so many positive attributes. I can not help but smile when I am around you. I love you.

Tyler, You are the savior of my life. In so many ways. I have positively no doubt that our friendship will last forever, no matter where our futures take us. The universe will have it be so! On many dark nights for me it was you who made me see the light, even if you never realized you did. I love you. so incredibly much.

Jess, We are both going through rough times, but we will see each other through. You are beautiful. Jess I mean it you are. You don't need to ever change yourself for anyone. Both the world and I will always be here rooting for you. Accept happiness. Don't question it. I love you.

I decided to be honest. and to quit with the hate. Hate is a destroyer of beautiful things, and I have no room for that in my world.

Games and manipulation just leave me tired. I'm going to stop denying my feelings. I'm going to stop feeling guilty for the thoughts, fears, desires, or love which live inside me.

I am one with the world and it is time I truly revealed myself to it.

I'm happy.

Song of the moment. <3

I'm back! :) And I mean in all forms. Not just to blogging but to myself. :)

Of course I'm still clueless as ever and this will return to my random ramblings but I'm happy to be feeling like my old self :)

I realized that things really are never as bad as they seem. There is always a light in the dark, after all are there not stars at night and a moon? Well I'm going to be my own moon and my friends, well they are my beautiful stars who make my sky brighter.

Ok so sometimes the star will burn out and will no longer provide a light to my life but that does not diminish, even for a second, the stars that remain. :D

Maybe one day I'll find that sun, but hey I was always more of a night person anyway :P
