I was scared.

Not that he was gonna hurt me or anything. Just, you know, seeing someone lose it like that. You know, it reminded me of how I feel sometimes.

Like I'm on the verge of just blowing up. All the stress and pressure and anxiety just bubbling up. But I'm never able to let it out like that. You know, I just keep it inside.

It can be sad and frightening to see other people collapse and go mad. It's not that I'm afraid that person will hurt me, but I've been on the verge of collapse, but I've never released those suppressed emotions.

Sometimes I even envy people who are crazy. They can collapse to the point of being crazy and don't care about other people's eyes. It is happier than those who are struggling on the brink of collapse.

It's okay to bend the truth just a little bit.

Bobby said

I just don't want to get people's expectations up and then disappoint them later.

People who have nothing to brag about and nothing to blame, exaggerating their strengths will only raise the expectations of others and add pressure to themselves. Why do people always have expectations. Not everyone is positive, optimistic, and has a plan and purpose in life. For some people, it just wants to have a normal life. For them, this kind of normality is a family that gets along in harmony, a healthy body, a friend who can talk to each other, and that's it.

    Live by yourself in the end. Being who you are is more important than anything else. I like the way people communicate in the film. It's free, candid, natural, and especially listens carefully. I like this kind of respect for people from foreigners. Who else can have such a dialogue in this impetuous society.

  • Craig: Okay, I know you're thinking, "What is this? Kid spends a few days in the hospital and all his problems are cured?" But I'm not. I know I'm not. I can tell this is just the beginning. I still need to face my homework, my school, my friends. My dad. But the difference between today and last Saturday is that for the first time in a while, I can look forward to the things I want to do in my life. Bike, eat, drink, talk. Ride the subway, read, read maps. Make maps, make art. Finish the Gates application. Tell my dad not to stress about it. Hug my mom. Kiss my little sister. Kiss my dad. Make out with Noelle. Make out with her more. Take her on a picnic. See a movie with her. See a movie with Aaron. Heck, see a movie with Nia. Have a party. Tell people my story. Volunteer at 3 North. Help people like Bobby. Like Muqtada. Like me. Draw more. Draw a person. Draw a naked person. Draw Noelle naked. Run, travel, swim, skip. Yeah, I know it's lame, but, whatever. Skip anyway. Breathe... Live.

  • Bobby: Well, well, well! Still working on it, Cool Craig?

    Craig: It's not what you think.

    Bobby: I think the two of you were playing the question game outside, that's what I think.

    Craig: ...Well, I... guess it is what you think then.

    Bobby: I thought so.
