I just finished reading Perks of Being a Wallflower, /lit/.
I read it and it was the best goddamn book I've ever read, but now I just can't stop fucking crying. I feel as though everything and everyone I love and hold dear is just slipping away from me day by day. It's all happening so fast and it hurts so much, and I just keep coming to this realization that someday I'll have to leave everything too, and shit /lit/ is this just growing up or is it real life? I don't even know what to do with myself. Has anyone else ever gotten this feeling from any book?
Pic somewhat related. Walden Pond.

You're overreacting to a mediocre book.

I felt like this after I read A Spot of Bother by Mark Haddon. A book which isn't particularly well known or acclaimed but had an intense effect.

Yes. Keep busy. It will pass.

OP here, I'll check out that book as well.

I know it will pass eventually, as do all feelings, but I swear it just feels like forever. I mean I know one of my friends is leaving to another state, 5 states away, and I only have one day out of the week to see him again, and then I know that the whole circle of friends I have is going to dissipate because of his departure, and then what am I going to do? Growing up is fucking awful. I know, blah blah, deal with it, I guess I just needed somewhere to vent.
