Hello Everyone,

today I will talk to you about a movie I watched a couple of years ago. It is called “The Perks Of Being A Wallflower”.

This movie might strike a lot of people as “not really” inspirational, but to me it was and still is.

The movie generally narrates the story of a young teenager during his first year of high school. You might expect it to be a “Amrican Pie” type of movie but it is far from that. Charlie is a sweet intelligent guy, who has a talent for writing. His talent is helped by his oberserving personality. Very rarely you see him in action, but somehow he is always present and absorbing every event or incident in his friends’ and relatives’ lives.

Charlie knows how to choose his words, although shy , he somehow has moments where he can express himself freely ( like in his highschool friends’ rendetion of The Rocky Horror Picture Show).

Charlie has a knack for saying the right things at the right time, even though his words are few and far between.

His story is inspirational to me, not because I can relate to it, but because his struggle is real and his highs and lows are genuine. Charlie can be your friend or someone you just meet and don’t notice. Everyone of us met a Charlie but very few of us took the time to know him. May be if we learn to be more observant like him, then we may not miss so many moments of our lives, may be taking the back seat might help us slow down the time.

This movie is not about a typical “Hollywood” inspirational experience, but it is possibly the best life lesson someone can get behind a screen.

So long dear readers,

XOXO
