Why other people's lives are advancing, but our lives are miserable and stagnant.
Watching "The Wallflower Boy" recently, Charlie was molested by Aunt Helen when he was a child, and Aunt Helen was hit and killed by a car because he went to get him a gift. He didn't know whether to hate himself or hate Aunt Helen. He thought he might be I hope she will die, but over and over again see her driving and getting into a car accident.
He was left behind in his childhood, molested by Aunt Helen, but thought he killed Aunt Helen. He was trapped and couldn’t grow up. Those pains tortured him over and over again and made him lose the life. Hope and vitality.
He tried to get better, he tried to read some books, wrote some articles, tried to communicate with himself, and let himself out. But every time he tried to stand up, he was overwhelmed by those memories again and again. He was in pain, panicked, and didn't know how to express or participate. He longed for the crowd, but was afraid. He tried to rescue himself from the abyss of despair, but pushed himself deeper again and again.
Later he went to high school and met Patrick, especially Sam.
She is beautiful and full of enthusiasm, a youth he has never had before. Later, Sam told him about her past,
She also told Charlie that her first kiss was when she was 11 years old, with her father's boss. The experience of her childhood made her look down on herself. She drank alcohol and socialized with people whom her friends looked down upon, but she still felt humble.
They have all been hurt, unable to break free, unable to move forward, and unable to have a complete self. Sam has externalized power, enthusiastic and happy expression, participates in everything, and everything is lively. But she was timid to face herself, her heart was fragile and fragile, turbulent. Charlie internalizes power. He is sensitive and talented, and he is liked by Teacher Anderson. But we can also see his loneliness and the panic and anxiety in the crowd.
If you have not enough strength to rescue yourself by yourself, then you can rely on the strength of others. So we saw Charlie help Sam to review and go to college, and convince her that she is really good, can get better, can love, and deserve to be loved. Sam takes Charlie to make friends, participate in club activities, dance parties, he learns to participate and also learn to express. They all become better, more confident, learn how to love themselves and also learn how to love others.
Maybe all of us are not going well enough, and may be knocked to the ground by some injuries, but even if those injuries are painful and desperate, we must try to stand up and move forward. One day we will meet a better self and a better person.
