Too much beauty

"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 it flows through me like rain and I can feel nothing 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 from American Beauty

So this was the quote that kept on running in my head when I was watching the sunset this afternoon in Ilocos. I can't help but feel really lucky and grateful for all the blessings I have and had. It's a crazy ride but it's always worth it. :)
