It's time to begin...

I've always loved movies that were different. And when I mean different, I mean the ones that explore topics that no one really likes to talk about. Like, The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I think everyone knows about this movie, but I'll explain the plot anyway for the people overseas (I know you guys read my blog, and I couldn't be more happier or thankful.) who may not be familiar with the novel or movie. and anybody else who hasn't heard of this beautiful story.
The story is about a bashful and shy boy named Charlie who is going into high school with a not so pleasant history. There, he meets two oddball seniors who welcome him into their personal island of misfit toys with open arms. With them, he feels like he finally fits in, earning his title as a wallflower.
In the story, Charlie's "oddball" friend, Patrick, (He's gay and he's freaking amazing.) says to Charlie and I quote,

" You see things. You keep quiet about them. And you understand."
 
People like that are hard to find. So hold on to them. Don't let them go.
 
Another freaking amazing thing about this story is the fact that they basically scream throughout the whole movie and novel, that it's okay to be "below average." You'll understand my little joke if you've seen the film.
 
This book is a must read. Read it. You won't regret it. I pinky promise.
