Dear Simon,

Dear Simon,

So glad to see you have a happy ending love story like a fairy tale as you deserve. Just like you said, you “have one huge-ass secret”, or I can say “had”. Well, I had that secret, too . But I guess each gay guy has their own story, right? You are luck to have open-minded parents, kind friends and sensible teachers. I guess I get those as well.

But the thing is I never meet my “Blue”. Throughout the 22 years of my life, I haven't feel that way to any person, ever. Sometime I even wonder if I will meet my Mr. Right or not in the rest of my life. As a gay guy, life is hard enough, but finding a guy you love who loves you back in the same time is harder, and let alone managing a long-term relationship. At times, I feel lonely. Not literally “lonely”, cause I get plenty of friends and I always get busy of studying. But more than like having a feeling that something is missing in my life, mabye is like a shoulder to lean on, a hand to cling with, or sometime is one's lips to kiss, one's body to caress. Well, this is more dirty than I thought in my mind haha.

Anyway, I even don't know what I'm talking about. Probably just a grievance about my empty love life in the small hours of 3:00 am. So, good night.

Love, Derek

    Although it's a bit commercial sugar-coated, I like this drama more than "call me by your name". Probably because I felt a sincere kindness in the play.

    Finally, someone took this theme of youth, funny, witty and relaxed, and finally did not use the long shot of literary road to prove something. This is no longer a social problem that needs to be described in depth, but a part of social life. Living in such a progressive civilized society is so beautiful, everyone. Have the right to pursue love

Love, Simon quotes

  • Ms. Albright: Don't "Hey, Ms. Albright" me. We're not friends. You're not going to braid my hair or paint my nails. Get your ass off the table now, you sweaty, hormonal virgins. You know what? You're about to be suspended for so long that by the time it's over, you're going to be the fat, bald, unhappily married, wildly mediocre nobodies you're destined to become.

    Spencer: You can't talk to us like that.

    Ms. Albright: Actually I can, 'cuz I just did. And you know why? Because you're just those two assholes who did that shitty thing in front of the whole school. And guess what? Nobody feels sorry for those assholes, especially me. Now walk. Mr. Worth's office. Now.

    Ms. Albright: [Grabbing speaker] Unh-uh. That's mine now. I'm'ma sell it, get my tubes tied.

  • Simon: You... actually, uh, I did want to talk to you guys about something.

    Emily: What is it?

    Simon: [stammering] Uh, well...

    Jack: Let me guess. You got somebody pregnant. No, you're pregnant.

    Simon: Yeah.

    Jack: I knew it!

    Simon: Yeah, I'm pregnant.

    Jack: I knew it. I mean, he's got that glow about him, babe.

    Simon: No, um...

    [struggles to get the words out]

    Simon: I'm gay.

    [Emily and Jack are both quiet]

    Emily: Honey...

    Simon: And I don't want you guys to think anything different. I'm still me...

    Emily: Of course you are, Simon.

    Jack: Yeah. So you're gay. Which one of your old girlfriends turned you? Was it the one with the big eyebrow or...

    Emily: Jack.

    Nora: Jesus Christ, dad, do you ever shut the hell up?

    Jack: I'm kidding.

    Nora: It's not funny!

    Jack: I'm kidding. Hey, Nora, open up your gift, please?
