"I feel infinite."
"I don't want to start thinking again. Not like I have this last week. I can't think again. Not ever again.
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."

An amazing book that is especially beloved by angsty teenagers. Because of its following, people who are trying to be individuals will say that it's not actually good.
Angsty teenager: The Perks of Being a Wallflower is so great!
"Individual": No, it's not.
Angsty teenager: What's wrong with it?
"Individual": Um... a lot of people like it, so it can't be good.

or
friend: *sigh*"what are you crying for this time?"
me: "i just finished the perks of being a wallflower..."
friend: "bro you've read/watched this book/movie twenty times already, get over it"
One of the best books you'll ever read, and one of the best movies you'll ever see.
Charlie, a freshman in high school, hasn't had a friend in a while. Then, a couple of seniors, Patrick and Sam, let him into their friends, the Wallflowers.
