“I don’t know if you’ve ever felt like that. That you wanted to sleep for a thousand years. Or just not exist. 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.”– The Perks Of Being A Wallflower (by Stephen Chbosky)
Today, those words from my all time favourite book saved me and made me feel so much less alone. I can’t explain how I feel any better than this quote can for me. I just feel broken and exhausted and I’m trying my hardest to just escape my own mind. And I hoped that posting this for other people to see might get that off my chest a little bit. Oh, and I really recommend you read that book.

That book is just amazing. I truly love it!
There are so many quotes from it that I love, its hard to choose a favorite.
That book really helped me feel less alone as well
I just read the first few pages on Amazon. I’m gonna get that book as soon as I can
“..and in that moment we were infinite.”
I know what you mean @savemefrommyself97, there are just so many! I also really like: “I am both happy and sad and I’m still trying to figure out how that can be” but my absolute favourite is “Things change. And friends leave. And life doesn’t stop for anybody.”
