I remember to relax

"I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me, but it is hard to stay mad when there is so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I am seeing it all at once, and it gets to be too much. My heart fills up like a balloon that is about to burst and then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold onto it and then it flows thru 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 am talking about, I'm sure, but don't worry you will someday."

I was listening to the American Beauty sound track. This quotation from the movie kinda stuck with me.
