"And in that moment, I swear we were infinite."

Do you know when beginning a new book you suddenly have the urge to write (I think I mentioned it in another post too)? Well it’s happening now, hence this post.

I just finished reading The Perks of Being a Wallflower. My Secret Santa during the block Christmas Party, who turned out to be Ate Naji, bought me that book (plus watercolor pencils). (Thanks again Ate Naji!) I’d been meaning to download the ebook and read it for the longest time, but I wasn’t looking forward to reading from the computer screen. It strains my eyes badly; I’ve been doing it a long time that now I’m already supposed to wear glasses. (I just don’t because I’m lazy.) Or I could’ve bought an actual copy of the book but I had other things to buy.

So.

It was a good book about coming-of-age, about being socially awkward, about childhood traumas, about living your life, about making decisions, about watching other people grow, about also growing yourself…

The theme is overused, I know. But it doesn’t get old. Because every generation go through all those very same dilemmas. And the execution was something new – although not very original, still it was different. (At first I thought it was difficult sustaining interest with that kind of execution, but it worked.)

Anyway, this is not a book review. I do not plan on making essays on books, like Charlie did. All I wanted was to convince you that it’s a good book and you’re doing yourself a favor by reading it. Actually, I wrote this post to say a temporary goodbye to this blog. My posts will be very sporadic from now on. The book inspired me to start a new blog, an anonymous one. I thought I’d make every post a letter—like Charlie did—but I didn’t want to just copy the book. So, I’m still thinking about how to write my new blog.

I hope it turns out good.
