The truth is, when it gets really quiet, when the silence gets too loud, i really start to miss everyone.
Stephen Chbosky

I just hope I remember to tell my kids that they are as happy as I look in my old photographs. And I hope that they believe me.
Stephen Chbosky

And I could see this boy doing his homework and thinking about my sister naked. And I could see them holding hands at football games that they do not watch. And I could see this boy throwing up in the bushes at a party house. And I could see my sister putting up with it. And I felt very bad for both of them.

And I never felt that good in my life. But I also felt bad because I saw her naked without her permission.

But right now I’m here with you. And I want to know where you are, what you need, and what you want to do.

It's strange to describe reading a book as a really great experience, but that's kind of how it felt.
Stephen Chbosky
Image
It's great that you can listen and be a shoulder to someone, but what about when someone doesn't need a shoulder? What if they need the arms or something like that? You can't just sit there and put everybody's lives ahead of yours and think that counts as love. You just can't. You have to do things.

I couldn't believe Sam actually got me a present because i honestly thought the I love you was it.

Things change. And friends leave. Life doesn't stop for anybody.
Stephen Chbosky

Despite everything my mom and doctor and dad have said to me about blame, I can't stop thinking what I know. And I know that my aunt Helen would still be alive today if she just bought me one present like everybody else. She would be alive if I were born on a day that didn't snow.

And she looked at me like she couldn't believe I knew she loved Anne Rice. I guess he didn't know how much she talked or how much I listened.

Maybe it’s sad that these are now memories. And maybe it’s not sad.

I don't know what I'm supposed to do now. I know other people have it a lot worse. I do know that, but it's crashing in anyway, and I just can't stop thinking that the little kid eating french fries with his mom in the shopping mall is going to grow up and my sister.
