She was sincere and this puzzled the guidance counselors. I guess I'm pretty emotional. At the school dances, I sit in the background, and I tap my toe, and I wonder how many couples will dance to 'their song.' In the hallways, I see the girls wearing the guys. And I wonder if anyone is really happy. I really hope they are. It's just that sometimes people use thought to not participate in life. Nobody knows how he got there. But this was not an ordinary brownie. Since you are older, I think you know what kind of brownie it was. You keep quiet about them. I just don't know what I would write. And I think it's bad when the most honest way a boy can look at a girl is through a camera. Maybe these are my glory days, and I'm not even realizing it because they don't involve a ball. I hope it can be that for him. And I think they knew. Not anything specific really. I don’t think Gandalf meant for us to come this way.' 15 Words That Don’t Mean What You Think They Mean.

And I think that's all you can ever ask from a friend. Do you know what I mean? That nice feeling when you look in the mirror, and your hair's right for the first time in your life? I don't think we should base so much on weight, muscles, and a good hair day, but when it happens, it's nice. Have you ever kissed a girl? And she looked very sad. She told me about the first time she was kissed. She told me that it was with one of her dad's friends. And she told nobody except Mary Elizabeth and then Patrick a year ago. And she started to cry. And she said something that I won't forget. And I know that I told you not to think of me that way. And I know that we can't be together like that. But I want to forget all those things for a minute. And I was, too, because when I hear something like that I just can't help it. And it was the kind of kiss that I could never tell my friends about out loud. It was the kind of kiss that made me know that I was never so happy in my whole life. There were a lot of little kids there. I watched them flying. Doing jumps and having races. And I thought that all those little kids are going to grow up someday. And all of those little kids are going to do the things that we do. And they will all kiss someone someday. But for now, sledding is enough. I think it would be great if sledding were always enough, but it isn't. And it gets to a point where none of it seems real. Well, sometimes, I can do that, but I don't need an hour in front of a mirror. It just happens very fast, and things start to slip away. And I just open my eyes, and I see nothing. And then I start to breathe really hard trying to see something, but I can't. It doesn't happen all the time, but when it does, it scares me. Kelly believes in women's rights so much that she would never let a guy hit her. I guess I can't say that about you. And I could feel what he felt on the night when he realized that if he didn't leave, it would never be his life. At least that's how he's put it. And I know that my aunt Helen would still be alive today if she just bought me one present like everyone else. She would be alive if I was born on a day that didn't snow. I would do anything to make this go away. I have to stop writing now because I feel too sad. I hope you do not think that makes me weird. That you wanted to sleep for a thousand years. Or just not be aware that you do exist. Or something like that. I think wanting that is very morbid, but I want it when I get like this. That's why I'm trying not to think. I just want it all to stop spinning. I've been watching cable television and eating jello. 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. It was vast and open and thinly quiet, and I felt so small. And all the songs you. And you know that if you looked at these facts when you were happy, you would feel great because you are describing . And other times you see the same couple, and they make you so mad. And all you want is to always feel happy for them because you know that if you do, then it means you. But the thing is that I can hear Sam and Craig having sex, and for the first time in my life, I understand the end of that poem. And I never wanted to. You have to believe me. Love Always, Charlie. Dave and his girlfriend in my room.. If I were gay, I'd want to date you. Just tell me how to be different in a way that makes sense. To make this all go away. I know that's wrong because it's my responsibility, and I know that things get worse before they get better because that's what my psychiatrist says, but this is a worse that feels too big. I look at the teachers and wonder why they're here. If they like their jobs. And I wonder how smart they were when they were fifteen. It's like looking at all the students and wondering who's had their heart broken that day, and how they are able to cope with having three quizzes and a book report due on top of that. Or wondering who did the heart breaking. I used to be able to do it very easily, but that was before I knew what having a friend was like. And to have French fries with your mom be enough. Something that I think is important. I realized that throughout the course of the evening, I wasn't happy about Craig and Sam breaking up. I never once thought that it would mean Sam might start liking me. All I cared about was the fact that Sam got really hurt. And I guess I realized at that moment that I really did love her. Because there was nothing to gain, and that didn't matter. Because there was nothing to gain, and that didn't matter. There. You start on one side of the mountain, and it. As you enter the tunnel, the wind gets sucked away, and you squint from the lights overhead. When you adjust to the lights, you can see the other side in the distance just as the sound of the radio fades because the waves just can. As you see the opening get closer, you just can. And finally, just when you think you. And the radio comes back even louder than you remember it. And the wind is waiting. And you fly out of the tunnel onto the bridge. A million lights and buildings and everything seems as exciting as the first time you saw it. It really is a grand entrance. It was the one time all day that I really wanted the clock to stop. And just be there for a long time. The time we were walking. And I was in the middle. I don't even remember the season. I just remember walking between them and feeling for the first time that I belonged somewhere. They had become stories. Nobody brought up the bad names or the bad times. And nobody felt sad as long as we could postpone tomorrow with more nostalgia. 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 have to do things. If somebody likes me, I want them to like the real me, not what they think I am. And I don't want them to carry it around inside. I want them to show me, so I can feel it too. I want them to be able to do whatever they want around me. And if they do something I don't like, I'll tell them. I guess there could always be someone to blame. Maybe if my grandfather didn't hit her, my mom wouldn't be so quiet. And maybe she wouldn't have married my dad because he doesn't hit. And maybe I would never have been born. But I'm very glad to have been born, so I don't know what to say about it all espically since my mom seems happy with her life, and I don't know what else there is to want. And maybe we'll never know most of them. But even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them. We didn't talk about anything heavy or light. We were just there together. Things change and friends leave. And life doesn't stop for anybody. Or maybe shrug at how strange everybody was, especially me. I think the idea is that every person has to live for his or her own life and then make the choice to share it with other people. You can't just sit there and put everybody's lives ahead of yours and think that counts as love. You have to do things. I'm going to do what I want to do. I'm going to be who I really am. And I'm going to figure out what that is. And we could all sit around and wonder and feel bad about each other and blame a lot of people for what they did or didn't do or what they didn't know. I guess there could always be someone to blame. Maybe it's good to put things in perspective, but sometimes, I think that the only perspective is to really be there. Because it's okay to feel things. And that was enough to make me feel infinite.
