Quest for Beauty

Up till now, my life has been centered around my depression. I've decided to try something new. Now, my life is to be dedicated to finding beauty in unexpected places, just like in my favorite movie ever, American Beauty. I tried it today, and found myself smiling a lot more and noticing things that had before eluded me.

There is unimaginable beauty in heartache, for without sadness, happiness is less vibrant. Life is about contrast. God cannot exist without the devil, as my good friend Hannah Johnson once said in a spurt of genius.

Steven Cash once said to me, "Life is beautiful. Just fucking realize that." It took me a while, but I did.
