She lifted off the pillowcase, and there I was, standing in my old suit, looking at an old typewriter with a fresh ribbon. Inside the typewriter was a piece of white paper. On that piece of white paper, Sam wrote, \"Write about me sometime.\" And I typed something back to her, standing right there in her bedroom. I just typed. \"I will.\" And I felt good that those were the first two words that I ever typed on my new old typewriter that Sam gave me. We just sat there quiet for a moment, and she smiled. And I moved to the typewriter again, and I wrote something. \"I love you, too.\" And Sam looked at the paper, and she looked at me. \"Charlie . . . have you ever kissed a girl?\" I shook my head no. It was so quiet. \"Not even when you were little?\" I shook my head no again. And she looked very sad. She told me about the first time she was kissed. She told me that it was with one of her dad's friends. She was seven. And she told nobody about it except for Mary Elizabeth and then Patrick a year ago. And she started to cry. And she said something that I won't forget. Ever. \"I know that you know that I like Craig. And I know that I told you not to think of me that way. And I know that we can't be together like that. But I want to forget all those things for a minute. Okay?\" \"Okay.\" \"I want to make sure that the first person you kiss loves you. Okay?\" Okay.\" She was crying harder now. And I was, too, because when I hear something like that I just can't help it. \"I just want to make sure of that. Okay?\" \"Okay.\" And she kissed me. It was the kind of kiss that I could never tell my friends about out loud. It was the kind of kiss that made me know that I was never so happy in my whole life.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Stephen Chbosky" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/stephen-chbosky/she-took-me-to-her-room-and-stood-me-in-front-of-her-dresser-which/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/c58/stephen-chbosky-387_first-person_she-took-me-to-her-room-and-stood-me-in_1093926.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/c58/stephen-chbosky-387_first-person_she-took-me-to-her-room-and-stood-me-in_1093926.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/c58/stephen-chbosky-387_first-person_she-took-me-to-her-room-and-stood-me-in_1093926.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“She took me to her room and stood me in front of her dresser, which was covered in a pillowcase with pretty…” — Stephen Chbosky", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "on that piece of white paper, sam wrote, \"write about me sometime.\" and i typed something back to her, standing right there in her bedroom. i just typed. \"i will.", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Stephen Chbosky" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/stephen-chbosky/on-that-piece-of-white-paper-sam-wrote-write-about-me-sometime-and-i/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/fe8/stephen-chbosky-387_bedroom_on-that-piece-of-white-paper-sam-wrote-w_1426832.png", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/fe8/stephen-chbosky-387_bedroom_on-that-piece-of-white-paper-sam-wrote-w_1426832.png", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/fe8/stephen-chbosky-387_bedroom_on-that-piece-of-white-paper-sam-wrote-w_1426832.png", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“on that piece of white paper, sam wrote, \"write about me sometime.\" and i typed something back to her…” — Stephen Chbosky", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "I wasn't one of those kids that was like I'm going to be a country music singer or I'm going to be the next Pat Green and stuff.

I write because it's my answer to impermanence. I write because it helps me stay connected to my heart. I write because we’re all different, and so much the same. I write because the world needs more tenderness. I write because I'm tired of secrets. I write because it’s my path to redemption. I write because I've forsaken those that I love. I write because I want to know myself. I write because I want to know you. I write because I'm drawn towards things I shouldn't do. I write because every flower is meant to bloom. I write because life is full of paradoxes. I write because I’ve had to leave friends behind. I write because it's my form of prayer. I write because, when I write, I lose track of time. I write because I've walked dark streets looking for love. I write because of the way the sublime slips away from words. I write because of the twice shy part of once burned. I write because it helps me learn. I write because there are plenty of people who have written, famous well-published people, literary figures, literary giants, and I didn't like what they wrote. I write because I'm always telling myself stories anyhow. I write because I don't know all of the reasons I write. I write for you. I write. I write.
