Absolute Beauty

..."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 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."

-Lester Burnham's ending monologue
from American Beauty (1999) by Alan Ball
