Teenagers

I always used to say that Mean Girls was the teenage bible.  Now I know I was wrong.  Mean Girls is the survival guide...The Perks of Being a Wallflower is the bible.  It shows what actually happens, the real feeings we hold inside ourselves. 

Because well, I've been having this dilemma, you see.  There is a line in this movie that I can relate to the most.  "I'm both Happy and Sad"  And I feel this way all the time.  I used to be depressed and now I'm just trying to be happy.  I have good days and I have bad days, and I'm just waiting for the good to outway the bad.  Today I felt happier than I have in a long time for no justifyable reason.  For once I feel pretty, like I'm worth something, made for something important.  I finally feel like even if it is a struggle doing what I love will no longer feel inadequit.  Finally I can see every picture at once...the big picture and the small.

And you know what?

They all look like pictures that have been developing too long...a.k.a....It's a long time coming but the future looks bright.
