I have always heard... your entire life flashes in front your eyes, the second before you die… First of all, that one second isn’t a second at all, it stretches on forever like an ocean of time.
For me it was like lying on my back at the boy’s scout camp, watching falling stars, yellow leaves from maple trees that lined our streets, my grandmother’s hands and the way her skin seemed like paper and the first time I saw my cousin, Tony’s brand new Fire Bird. And Jenny…. And Jenny… My little angel… And Charoline…
I guessed I would be pretty pissed off for what had happened to me…
But it’s hard to stay mad when there is so much beauty in the World. Sometimes I feel, I am saying it 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 am talking about, I am sure. But, don’t worry! you will, someday…
… From American Beauty
I found these lines so very beautiful that I couldn’t stop myself to share…
