Watched the perks of being a wallflower today. To me, it is
a really meaningful film and it puts some perspective into my life. I have
never been the popular kid and will never be. Fortunately, I was never the kid
that is constantly being left out. This film reminded me of my secondary school
days where people were being ostracized and given names just because they are
different. The inability to conform to social norms results in constant
bullying and unpopularity. I feel sorry for them but deep down I know that I
will never be able to understand what they really go through, as I have never
been in their shoes. Unfortunately, one of my friends did go through such
nonsense and I am glad that he shared it with me. The anger, frustration and
melancholy that radiated from him was so intense that I cant help but feel
sorry for him. I realized that besides sympathy, he deserves at least a true
friend and I hope that is what I am to him.
The main character said this ‘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.’ Honestly, I am really glad to have everything that I possess now. Loving
and supporting family, brilliant friends, not having to worry about financial
constrains and being a medical student- what more to ask for? Certain aspect of my life is filled with
perplexity which I suppose requires time to set things straight. It is not
going to be a walk in the park but I know I have to have them sorted out.
Hopefully, the day when I can proudly tell the world that I am off the hook
will come really soon.
One of my favorite quote from the movie is ‘we accept the
love we think we deserve.’ For now,
thank you all for all the love and support. For those that I once love or once
loved me, thanks. Maybe
it’s sad that these are now memories. And maybe it’s not sad. ‘All that we go
through will all be stories some day, but right now we are alive, and in this
moment I swear we are infinite!’ Fighting guys!
Ps: I hope that everything will go well for you mr murphy and I know u deserve someone better! Looking forward to our next meeting! By then I hope you will be sharing happy news with me with that attractive accent of you. Have always looked up to you since year 2, stay strong and blessed be my friend.
