"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." - The Perks of Being a Wallflower/ Page 100
I'm usually the kind of blogger who is all funny and so on, but after reading those two letters I feel pretty sad actually.
Charlie gets home from his dad's family and remembers why his Aunt Helen moved in with them. That she was abused by a friend of the family when she was younger and nobody would believe her. How she began to drink a lot and do drugs. Until she reached the point, she decided to get help which she did.
I feel really sorry about that. There are such a lot of people out there and such bad things always happen to the good people. It's kind of sad that they get hurt for no proper reason. Or no reason at all...
Since Charlie was born on the 24th of December his aunt always gave him two presents unlike everyone else. So on the evening of the 24th he handed the car keys to his aunt and she left to buy him another present. But she didn't come back anymore.
A policeman came to their house and told them she died in a car accident. And the worst thing of all is that Charlie blames himself for her death, because if she'd bought him just one present like everyone else she would still be alive.
Charlie was seven when that happened so I think most of you can understand the way he felt or still feels. As a child you always about your part in a story. And most of the time it's the bad/worst part.
He also visits her grave and talked to her about his life.
I personally think that's a good idea, because eventhough they aren't there anymore physically, they'll always be in your heart, am I right?
Well I suppose I see you soon.
