I guess I could pretty pissed off about what happened to me,

but 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.
