THIS IS A QUOTE THAT HAS BEEN STUCK IN MY HEAD FOR THE LAST FOUR OR FIVE YEARS AND I HAVE ALWAYS MENTALLY USED IT AS A MEASUREMENT AS TO HOW SATISFIED I AM WITH MY LIFE Let me un-caps. That’s better. I read The Perks of Being a Wallflower and The Catcher In The Rye relatively close together so I always have trouble trying to distinguish the two from one another — emotionally repressed teenage boys trying to make it in the world, I can see how that would get muddled — and whenever I see a couple in public, I always try to evaluate whether it makes me happy or sad. And that helps me determine my current mentality. Because as all writers ever want to hear about the words they’ve used to describe an abstract situation, this is true. There is a truth and an honesty to this and I’ve always wanted to know the wording and its origin so I could credit the proper writer. I’ve got it now. It was Perks. I am so happy right now.
