[Perks of Being a Wallflower] Most Important Line

In a book, there are many important components that make it special and make it stand out from the millions of other books in the world. When readers like you and I read a book, we often take away the most important one of those aspects to remember the book by. For the book, Perks of Being a Wallflower, there is a particularly memorable line that mostly everyone is familiar with. People who have seen the film version, read the book, or simply have even lived; know what line I am talking about. 

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

When I read this line for the first time, I didn't really understand what it meant. All I knew was that it made me feel good on the inside because it just seemed effortless the way Charlie had said it.

When I began writing this post, I knew exactly which quote I was going to use but I did not understand the literal meaning behind it. So I googled it. I found the dictionary definition of INFINITE was: limitless or endless in space, extent, or size; impossible to measure or calculate. So I guess Charlie is trying to convey the message that Patrick, Sam and he were embracing their freedom in a way and he felt as if nothing could stop them. He was feeling empowered by everything and everyone around him. He was simply living in the moment.

This makes me think of how many people I know and seen are so caught up with day to day life. I am guilty of this from time to time also. If everyone could read this book that is really changing how I see things, everyone could appreciate the simpler things. And live in the moment.
