AMERICAN BEAUTY

LESTER:
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.
