“i guess i could be 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 im 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 onto 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 im talking about, im sure; but don’t worry... you will someday.”
