Perks of Being a Wallflower is one of those novels and films that I can relate to and can connect to. I’d call myself a wallflower.
For as the above quote goes, it relates to me because I haven’t been with someone. Yet. I’m constantly pushed by my mother and my sisters to do things that isn’t me, like go on dating sites, go out partying, clubbing, and the likes. It just isn’t me. I want to let desire and destiny take its course and see where it takes me. Of course, I want to be with someone because I feel like I’m missing out and just letting my teenage year slip by. Of course, I have some crushes. And I’ve come to terms with the reality that I may not be the best for them, considering what I like to do and how I like to spend my time. If there is someone, someone who is interested me and likes me, I want them to know who I am and what I like to do, not create a facade to be someone that I’m not.
I want them to like me for me.
Be you and only you. Because in time there will be someone who will like, whatever it is that you do, whoever you are, about you.

I haven’t seen the Perks of Being a Wallflower film yet but I’ve always love the book. There was always something I could relate to the book and what you’ve said is completely true. We can only be ourselves and hope that someone else (whoever they are) can appreciate that . . . I think that’s what everyone looks for in life. Anyway, great blogspiration post and great quote!

YES, BRAIDEN. YES YES YES YES. TO EVERYTHING. I LOVE THIS.
What bothers me so much in our world is that so many people define themselves by relationships. Like, you need a man or a woman to FINALLY be happy or have a fulfilling life. That you need to have dated or kissed x amount of people by a certain age. That if you’re single, then you must desperately want someone or it obviously means you can’t get someone. It infuriates me, because dating is not all there IS to life. It’s wonderful, amazing, BEAUTIFUL thing to find that special someone, but…. why is it EVERYTHING? I want to be focused onme. Selfish as that may sound. I’m the kind of person who needs to find who *I* am, love myself wholly before I can be open with another. And I LIKE this process of finding who I am, enjoying my life as a single entity. Would be nice to find someone? OF COURSE. But why are we always pushed to look? Why can’t we just BE – shine bright and independent by ourselves? And “let desire and destiny take its course and see where it takes me.”
“Be you and only you. Because in time there will be someone who will like, whatever it is that you do, whoever you are, about you.” WISE WORDS, OH WISE ONE <3

Brodie? I LOVE YOU, SISTER! Thanks for your rant. Thanks for your inspiration-in-return. Thanks for being Buffy.

Well said! I loved the book and I think the movie is opening next week here in Croatia.
And as for relationships..I never believed in soulmates or fluffy romantic stuff, but the perfect person shows up when you least expect it. One day a guy from my college and I went for a coffee to kill an hour between classes. We talked for three hours straight about books and movies. A few months later we were a couple
I guess my point is, there’s someone for everyone, you just be your awesome self and they’ll know
