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

This is my favorite quote from my favorite book and movie, Perks of Being A Wallflower, by Stephen Chbosky. I love this book because I feel like I parallel the Main character, Charlie, in so many ways. If you've read the book or seen the movie, I'm not saying I parallel with the decisions he makes or the experiences he has gone through. I parallel to his beliefs.

He is trying to find himself. Like high school students, he seeks security in the friends he makes. When you find someone that totally and completely understands you,  the burdens of life are a little bit easier to bare.  Another quote from the book is a perfect illustration of this.

"And I looked at them. And I think they knew. Not anything specific really. They just knew and I think that's all you can ever ask for from a friend."

I love my friends. I don't know where or who I'd be without them. No matter how much you say you hate people or how much you think people suck. People are the things our hearts desire most. You may not agree. But I want you to look back on the best time of your life. Now think about the influences that made that period of time amazing. People is on the list of things isn't it?

If you're one of thee people that are bitter towards the entire human race, step off your high horse and get over yourself. That might be read more harshly than I mean. I don't mean to sound cross, but the fact is you don't hate people. You love people. What you hate is the fact that you loved them so much and then you got hurt. You hate the fact that you love people but for some reason you end up hurt by them. You hate yourself for "letting" yourself get hurt.  You hate that someone could hurt you and they can just keep living their life as if nothing happened. You don't hate people. You love people. You hate the cruelty of the world. You love people so much that your heart feels like someone cut it open and pour salt in it every time you get hurt, disappointed, or used.

What I'm trying to get at here is, people love people. Whether you wish to accept the fact that people matter to you or not, they do. We as need people. It's the one thing every single person has in common. So surround yourself with people you love. Because when you find the people you love and that love you, you'll be infinite.
