      The Perks of Being a Wallflower

      She would understan how I am both happy and sad , and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be .

      Why do nice people choose the wrong people to date ? We accepted the love we think we deserve . Can we make them know they deserve more ? We can try .
       
      I feel myself so small…I'm just asking myself that why do I and everyone love or pick people who us treat as nothing. -we accepted the love we think we deserve…You are not small , you're beautiful.

      we have unlimited

      Thinking about how to start, the "buzz" in my mind is all the banter from the crowd. Charlie has no friends. Charlie has no friends...with the taunting of blue eyes, the rejection of the eyes, the ugly rejection of the lips turned slightly.
        I don't know if you have, although I can't find it in my memory, but I firmly believe that I have experienced it. There must be, even now. That kind of loneliness.
        
        That loneliness hurts. Charlie wasn't looking sad or wistful, he was just...

      summer blooming flowers

      Some things are there, and you think that after so many years, they have disappeared; some things are there, and you continue to move forward through the passage of time. Life is like a splendid flower, one season is open, one season is closed, people come and go, almost forget who you used to be, a certain moment, a certain scene, a certain moment, when something touches your heart, you are instantly affected by it. Throw it back in place

      There's no reason to die, it's just not wanting to hurt those who care.

      I was searching for movie resources just now, and I saw this movie by accident. I watched the film just after it was released last year. It was probably March or April, which happened to be the first peak of depression when it was at its worst.

      I still clearly remember that at eight o'clock in the evening, I was sitting on the bed in the dormitory with the warm yellow bedside lamp on. With the door closed, I could still hear the uncontrollable laughter of my roommates watching TV from...

      Infinite

      Sam: i have been away for two months.
               It is another world. And it gets better.
        
      Charlie: it made me not feel alone because i know there are people who say all of these things do not happen.
      and there are people who forget what it is like to be 16 when they turn 17. i know these will all be stories someday.
      and our pictures will become old photographs
      and we will all become somebody's mom or dad.
      but right now, these moments are not stories.

      Everyone has their own stories of the best years of their lives. . Everyone's story can be found in this film to some extent. . . However, the education system of the Renmei Empire is really great. Everyone in high school can already think about their own future and start to develop for their own future to some extent, and I, a student of the Great Celestial Dynasty, graduated from college and didn’t know myself.

    "Wallflower Boy" maintains the faithfulness of the source material, without sacrificing any quality of the film, through the interaction between the sound and the image, it triggers sentimental and nostalgic emotions. ( "The Atlantic" Ian Buckwalter review
    What is surprising is the cute, beautiful and young cast, especially the texture brought by Ezra Miller, who is as witty as a sensitive homosexual who speaks sarcasm. ( New York...

      Patrick: Look, my name is Patrick. Either you call me Patrick or you call me nothing.

      Mr. Callahan: Okay, Nothing.

      Charlie: [voice-over] I felt really bad for Patrick. He wasn't doing the impersonation to be mean or anything. He was just trying to make us freshmen feel better.
