My thoughts on The Perks of Being a Wallflower


Just got done reading this book. Well honestly, I loved it. It was so genuinely put together. I don’t know if a person like Charlie really exists out there. Hopefully I can be half the man he is. I don’t think anyone can ever think or wish any harm on such an amazing protagonist. Well at least not me. 
Wallflower,surely he is one. So awkward yet so divinely human. You know that perfect being one should be? Well Charlie is the one. Not the kind who is into what they look like or how much masculinity they have been packing. Not the kind that delves into only sexual things. Not the kind that believes in hurting someone else to derive pleasure. Nope,not that kind. But the kind that has a heart that is worthy of all the treasure and happiness in the world. He derives satisfaction from others happiness. That alone puts him above the rest. The rest of his qualities make him further rich the coveted “perfect being.”
The book was warm. It made me feel good. It gave me reasons to be self-confident. To be myself because some will genuinely enjoy that. A lot of the times I have struggled to balance things out and often times I forgot who I truly am as a person. I might still not know who the real me is,but for now I should strive to be whatever feels the most natural. 
If only I had a friend like Charlie!
