...but it's hard to be angry when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes, I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and I can't take it. My heart swells up like a balloon that's about to burst. But then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold onto it. And then, it flows through me like rain and I feel nothing but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life. - Lester Burnham, American Beauty

Girls, kittens, sunsets, voices, anime... just some of the things I can find so much beauty in, there is so much more. Sometimes I see it, or hear it, and I want to own it.. somehow. I want to have it so I can experience it for myself, by myself, any time I want. I want it to be mine and mine alone.
Then I realize that I can't have it for myself... and I cant take it home... and there's probably nothing else like it that I can substitute for it.
That's when I simply smile. I don't want to feel jealousy for those who do have these things on demand. I need to just breathe and enjoy it. There it is, folks, beauty.
It can heal your heart and it can destroy it.
