Finished watching Perks of being a Wallflower. I guess this book really is written to touch and connect with audiences. To instil a sense of nostalgia, and to provoke memories. Honestly speaking, I could feel for the protagonist. Not his emotional scarring from childhood, but rather his process of finding himself and bringing out the good in others.
Something was mentioned that struck with a chord within me.
“You can't just sit there and put everybody's lives ahead of yours and think that counts as love. You just can't. You have to do things.”It is awesome to help others and to place the well being of others before yours. It makes you happy, doesn't get you fat, and does not harm anybody. However there comes a time when we all have to be selfish and be proactive in procuring our own needs and wants. When you start living your life for others, you tend to fade out into the background and be taken for granted. I don't mean to sound cynical here, but humans are as such. Appreciation turns into expectations after a while. And before long, your life belongs to everyone else but yourself.
You can never read another person's thoughts no matter how close the both of you are. Too often misunderstandings happen because people assume, or think that they have delivered the message clearly simply by dropping hints. If these subtle messages are picked up and interpreted the right way, things will proceed smoothly. But when messages are left out, or misinterpreted, often confusion will occur that leads to unnecessary, but inevitable anguish. Anyhow, being passive will probably bore your love, and passion, away and leave you an empty husk.
