"Sometimes, I look outside, and I think that a lot of other people have seen this snow before."

i woke up this morning feeling just like last night. i decided to look at my baseball cards to see if i could sell some of them to get enough money to make my car payment. or maybe i could sell some of my cds or concert stuff.. im just so damn broke. after a little while i saw my favorite book and decided that it had been far too long since i had read it last. so i started reading it again.
The Perks of Being A Wallflower" is the best book i have ever read. i know ive mentioned it in here before but i firmly believe that everyone should read it at some point in their life. .. this is the only book ive ever read that i seriously felt like i could relate to. ive never felt so connected with a book like i do with this one. Charlie thinks like i do and goes through really bad times and good awkward times like i do. he hides stuff about his feelings and thoughts and has just the most vivid imagination and way of describing things. my sister describes things like that. i think like that but i dont usually talk how i think. he really takes everything to heart like i do and little things.. little kindnesses and people listening to him and telling him that they enjoy his company and like hanging out or inviting him places.. things like that really stick with him and he remembers all that shit. thats how i am. im a really emotional person and i hold back a lot of times because im scared of peoples reactions or what they will think or how it will effect them or how it will change what they think of me in the future. like, in my room i have this picture frame with little stained glass heart things on it and its a really cool frame i saw for like $2 so i got it. but i have like 4 pictures in it of 3 different people who just really mean the world to me. they are some of my favorite pictures. when it is just me i have it on certain ones.. but when other people are there i have the same one on the front. kinda makes me sad how i hide the other ones cause im scared for other people to see..

this is from the book...
"And this one kid Mark at the party who gave me this came out of nowhere and looked at the sky and told me to see the stars. So, i looked up, and we were in this giant dome like a glass snowball, and Mark said that the amazing white stars were really only holes in the black glass of the dome, and when you went to heaven, the glass broke away, and there was nothing but a whole sheet of star white, which is brighter than anything but doesnt hurt your eyes. It was vast and open and thinly quiet, and i felt so small.
Sometimes, i look outside, and i think that a lot of other people have seen this snow before, just like i think that a lot of other people have read those books before. And listened to those songs.
I wonder how they feel tonight."

i really like that part..he was tripping while he said it but thats how i think about things. sometimes when i look at something i'll just sit there and think about how it would look from a completely different angle. in movies sometimes they do a 360* camera angle shot where they pan around the character or the scene.. well i just do that in my head all the time. i can see how a room looks from a whole other angle even if ive never been there before. i can see how i look from a different angle. i think its really neat. i always want to be on that other angle so i can take a picture to see if how i see it is how it really is.
