And I wonder if anyone is really happy. I hope they are. I really hope they are.
It's just that sometimes people use thought to not participate in life.
Charlie, we accept the love we think we deserve.
I want Sam to stop liking Craig.
The pretty fall weather is pretty much gone.
November 15, 1991 这段整个都太棒了
My dad had glory days once. I've seen pictures of him when he was young. He was a very handsome man. I don't know any other way to put it. He looked like all old pictures look. Old pictures look very rugged and young, and the people in the photographs always seem a lot happier than you are.
My mother looks beautiful in old pictures. She actually looks more beautiful than anyone except maybe Sam. Sometimes, I look at my parents now and wonder what happened to mak... (查看原文)
I just think it's bad when a boy looks at a girl and thinks that the way he sees the girl is better than the girl actually is.And I think it's bad when the most honest way a boy can look at a girl is through a camera.It's very hard for me to see Sam feel better about herself just because an odler boy sees her that way...

Congratulation was the word of the day.
It suddenly dawned on me that if Michael were still around, Susan probably wouldn't be "going out " with him anymore. Not because she's a bad person or shallow or mean. But because things change. And friends leave. And life doesn't stop for anybody. (查看原文)
It was pretty straightforward, I thought, and the great part is that I took what the author wrote about and put it in terms of my own life. Maybe that's what being a filter means. (查看原文)
"I would die for you. But I won't live for you. "
Something like that. I think the ideas is that every person has to live for his or her own life and then make the choice to share it with other people. Maybe that is what makes people "participate. " (查看原文)
She also keeps talking about the Billie Holiday record she bought for me. And she says she wants expose me to all these great things. And to tell you the truth, I don't really want to be exposed to all these great things if it means that I'll have to hear Mary Elizabeth talk about all the great things she exposed to me all the time.It almost feels like of the three things involved: Mary Elizabeth, me, and the great things, only the first one matters to Mary Elizabeth. I don't understand that. I would give someone a record so they could love the record, not so they would always know that I gave it to them.
My sister tried to clarify things. She said that by introducing me to all these great things, Mary Elizabeth gained a "superior position" that she wouldn't need if she was confident abou... (查看原文)
I think that if I ever have kids, and they are upset, I won't tell them that people are starving in China or anything like that because it wouldn't change the fact that they were upset. And even if somebody else has it much worse, that doesn't really change the fact that you have what you have. Good and bad. Just like what my sister said when I had been in the hospital for a while. She said that she was really worried about going to college, and considering what I was going through, she felt really dumb about it. But I don't know why she would feel dumb. I'd be worried, too. And really, I don't think I have it any better or worse than she does. I don't know. It's just different. Maybe it's good to put things in perspective, but sometimes, I think that the only perspective is to really be t... (查看原文)
...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. (查看原文)
...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. (查看原文)
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 inside around.I want them to show me,so i can feel it,too.I want them to do whatever they want around me.And if they do something i don't like,i'll tell them. (查看原文)
