...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...
