People are innately beautiful. The complexities in unraveled thoughts. The skin rivers of populated hope. The smiling forests behind the bangs of friendship. From my favorite movie, American Beauty, lies my favorite quote that describes exactly what I’m feeling today:
“it’s hard to stay mad, when there’s so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I’m seeing it all at once, and it’s too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that’s about to burst… And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can’t feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life… You have no idea what I’m talking about, I’m sure. But don’t worry… you will someday.”
Often, I don’t know how to handle my view on this world. And it stays dormant in my mind. But today – I’m exploding. My heart’s confetti is being blown into the stratosphere and it’s up for the taking. If you choose to follow me in my path, take a listen to this song below. I’m on repeat #14, and I don’t see it stopping anytime soon.
Oh, and I cannot wait for the movie which this song is from: The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. Here’s the track list, which keeps blowing my mind.
