Thoughts I Think.

I have been thinking on the inexplicable, inexpressibly vast beauty of life lately. I'm noticing the weirdest things. This is going to sound super creepy,(when have I ever had any qualms about that), but have you ever just looked at someone for a long time and realized how beautiful people are? I don't care who you are, what your face looks like, you are so incredibly beautiful. You have something that's yours, that's uniquely you, that is so gorgeous and incredible. The human in itself is such a miracle. There isn't a single person in the world who isn't beautiful if you look at them.

People just make me so... happy. There is no other word, really. I am so incredibly grateful for the opportunity I have this week to be with people all week. I mean, I always do that at school. But just being with people because I choose it? That's a lovely thing. I love lovely people.

Its not just people that are this beautiful though. Its EVERYTHING. There are millions upon millions of tiny intricacies or details in even the ugliest things that make them profoundly beautiful. That makes me just smile. I'm thinking that life is one of the most mysterious, impossible, unbearable things in the whole universe. And that I wouldn't trade that for anything, because it is just so beautiful.

Happy Thanksgiving Break. I hope you get the opportunity to eat lots of food and be with people you love in places you love. I hope you get to sit with people who mean the world to you and memorize the beautiful droop of their mouth and count the colors in their eyes. I hope you just get to sit and notice. There is something so amazing in being an observer as well as a participant in the world. I think it is important to be both, though.

Ah, I'm sorry. But sometimes I just let my mind go out there and I start to notice things and those things make me so happy. It reminds me of an assignment I had to do at the beginning of the year for one of my classes. We had to describe ourselves in one sentance. Everyone had a hard time with it, and I did too until something just clicked and my pencil started to go.

I wrote, "I love being alive."

And I hope you do too!
