How I've gone soft.
I really think I used to be dead inside. For such a long time I really never cared about anyone but me. I was heartless, and hollow. But I feel alive now, more than ever. Awake, finally. Aware. So much to do, so much to see. There is so much beauty in the world, and inside ourselves. What's the point in being selfish, it takes too much effort anyway.

I'm proud of you.
ReplyDeleteThe world is a different place through open eyes...so many people go through their lives with their eyes shut.
I know American Beauty is such a cheesy move, but it's still one of my favorites, particularly because of this part:
"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."
