看完了The Perks of Being a Wallflower把一些字記下來,看完這本書好像交了一個滿酷又感覺剛好的朋友一樣,舒服舒服的。
開車回家的路上,我突然想到「與眾不同」這幾個字。我想起上一個用「與眾不同」形容我的人是是我的海倫阿姨。能再次聽到別人這麼說我,我好開心、也很感激,因為我認為我們每一個人偶爾都會忘記這一點,而我也認為每一個人都以他們自己的方式與眾不同。我是真的這麼想。

那些只有你知我知的秘密笑話不再是笑話,早已變成我們的故事。沒有人提起討厭鬼的名字,沒有人憶起不愉快的時光。只要我們能用更多回憶拖延明天的到來,沒有人會感到哀傷。

你願意傾聽、願意提供肩膀給人依靠固然很好,但是,萬一別人需要的不是肩膀、而是臂彎呢?你不能光是坐在旁邊、把別人的人生看的比自己的重要,然後認為這就是愛。你就是不可以這樣。你必須有所作為才行。

如果有人喜歡我,我希望他們喜歡的是真實的我,不是他們想像中的我。還有,我不要他們隱藏對我的愛,我要他們表現出來、讓我感覺的到。我要他們跟我在一起的時候,可以做他們想做的事;如果我不喜歡他們的作為,我會說出來。

我不知道現在應該怎麼辦。我知道別人的經驗可能比我更慘,我真的知道,但我終究還是崩潰了。

It's been a long time since we hung around together in the street And I miss those days, when the world would wait for us With our crowd of friends we'd sit along the pavement near your house 'Till the sun came down and we brought the stars out
When I heard it for the first time I could only stand and cry You were just a boy, we were all so innocent Oh we never thought this kind of thing would happen in our lives But it broke our hearts and we won't forget no
All this time has fallen through me since you've been gone And I wonder where you are 'Cos you've never let me know Oh no no
You're always going too soon I'm always left on my own
It's OK I understand, sometimes life can hold you down
I can see your face as clearly now, today, as I could then And it doesn't fade, but the times have changed so much I would like to tell you all about the things that we have done And we're doing fine, but I think you know that
The atlantic was born today and i'll tell you how... The clouds above opened up and let it out.
I was standing on the surface of a perforated sphere When the water filled every hole.
And thousands upon thousands made an ocean, Making islands where no island should go.
Oh no.
Those people were overjoyed; they took to their boats. I thought it less like a lake and more like a moat.
The rhythm of my footsteps crossing flood lands to your door have been silenced forever more.
The distance is quite simply much too far for me to row It seems farther than ever before
Oh no.
I need you so much closer I need you so much closer I need you so much closer I need you so much closer I need you so much closer I need you so much closer I need you so much closer I need you so much closer
