lessons.

Let life teach, let love into your life, and let knowledge enter your mind.
I learn something new truly everyday, and each time i learn something important, i try to better myself with it.

I finished the book "the perks of being a wallflower" and found this quote towards the end.

"It is great to be able to listen and be a shoulder to someone, but what if they need the arms of you? You cant put every ones lives ahead of yours to count it as love, you just cant, you have to do things, like take their hands when a slow song comes up for a change, or be the one to ask someone on a date, or tell people what you need, or what you want, and when you are able to do those things, that's when it counts as love."-perks of being a wallflower

I think in so many ways I am like charlie in this book, I listen and im the shoulder, but im never the one to put out my arms. Im never the one to tell someone what i want, or need, i just see what others need and want. For a long time, i really thought this was the right thing, but i think to be able to tell others what i want and need is important. Because if they can then be the shoulder for you, you know there is love and friendship between you too.
This book made me look at life with a different point of view and im so glad I read it. Next im going to start either Into the Wild, The catcher in the Rye, pieces, or brave new girl. Either way, i think i will find myself lost in another book. They make me forget about the problems in life, and just see the beauty that lay beneath the pages. now that's a good thing in life.
Goodnight.

All my love,
Lyssa
