I FINALLY saw #spidermanfarfromhome today and it triggered some nice nostalgia for two reasons -I went on a class trip to England and France in high school and it's been a while since I've seen "fishbowl" on screen. The chemistry between characters felt real, the jokes landed well for me and a few teens sitting around me in the theatre and the action really showed how spectacular Spider-Man can be at times. Anyway, send me a message if you want to chat about it! . . . #spiderman #spidermantickets #moviereview #moviereflection #igdaily #instadaily #notsponsored (at Lido Biograferne) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0CAhs1hL8a/?igshid=1k4ks8d9ct3t7
I just finished watching Perks of being a Wallflower and I think I just watched the movie of my life.
"Just give them a smile and be yourself. That's how you make friends in the real world." - Perks of being a Wallflower
This is what everyone should know. So the barrier between socializing with everyone else will go away. I think the hindrance to making friends is the fear of rejection, the fear that you don't pass to the society's basis. And that's wrong. You should just be yourself and let everyone know you're happy by wearing a smile.
"Why do I and everyone I love pick people who treat us like nothing?" - Sam, Perks of being a Wallflower
I can relate to Sam and the people she loves. I've been with people who treat me like nothing and ignore the people who can treat me better, more like their everything. I pushed everyone who tried to care for me maybe because of the fact that I'm not really used to it. I'm used to being alone and being independent. It's quite a pity, but what can I do?
"We accept the love we think we deserve." - Mr. Anderson, Perks of being a Wallflower
This is the answer to the question above. We accept the love we think we deserve, even though we know it will hurt us. We keep telling ourselves that this love is right, because we deserve it. No, that's not how it is. Not everything we deserve is the right thing for us. Sometimes, we have to pick the one we think is right for us, even though we don't deserve it. There are times that we have to be selfish to be happy.
"Touch my friends again and I'll blind you." - Charlie, Perks of being a Wallflower
This is where Charlie stood up for his friend, Patrick. I always do this kind of shit, where I totally go berserk when my friends are in danger or being picked on, definitely on beast mode. I never regret being all bruised for them, because they never regret that they became my friends.
"You can't just sit there and put everybody's lives ahead of yours and think it counts as love." - Sam, Perks of being a Wallflower
Letting everyone you love be ahead of you doesn't mean you love them, you're just boosting up their egos. And that's not love.
"I don't want to be someone's crush. I want people to like the real me." - Sam, Perks of being a Wallflower
THIS REALLY HIT ME. This is what I'm trying to tell everyone else. I don't want to be your ideal type or the popular girl that everyone has a crush, I just want to be accepted for who I am. I just everyone to like me not because I'm popular, talented or pretty, I just want them to accept my weirdness and my true personality. How I wish I can tell them this. This is what my heart contains. And I'm really sure they will never understand.
"I can see it. There's one moment when you know you're not a sad story. You are alive." - Charlie, Perks of being a Wallflower
I am not a failure. I am not the bitch that everyone is afraid of. I am not someone you can't approach. I am not the snobber popular kid. I am not a lonely weirdo. I am not a nerd. I am not a bully. I am not bad. And therefore, I am not a sad story.
