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.

– American Beauty

Not in looks. Not in what they say. Just in what they are.

— Markus Zusak
