catcher
realizing that all this self-loathing is catching up with me. the reason i like the catcher in the rye so much is because i am like Holden. hell, i am Holden. and it scares me. i want to hide from this, i want to be able to smile and nod, too, when you say how crazy he is, how you were scared by him. instead, i smile like plastic while remembering how i found nothing about him abnormal. i knew without thinking why he left, why he felt like he was dissappearing when he crossed the street, why he always felt his loneliest when he was with other people.
it feels disrespectful to have to describe that in a composition notebook.

catcher in the rye is an amazing book. i read it three years ago, and i can still remember it very well. have you ever read the perks of being a wallflower? that’s said to be the “modern day catcher in the rye.” it’s one of my favorite books.

i wanted him to approve of me, i didnt want to be what he didnt like, because it was what i didnt like, and yet still i held him in contempt for his inability to adapt, but i realized it was his will to remain unadapted, and that… that i respected.
