Author's Note: I came across this quote by Dr. Suess on pinterest. I became so drawn into it and became inspired. This response may seem like my head is in the clouds, but it's an honest response.
"Because when you stop and look around, this life is pretty amazing". This quote, spoken by Dr. Suess, can never get old to me even if I've read it one million times. The thing I like best about it is that it says "this life"and not "my life". I like that best because yes a ton of people face massive hardships everyday, yes a ton of people are putting up with stuff they don't need to, yes there is ugly in this world. But, if there was no ugly, how would we find great joy in the beauty of things? Not everyone has a great life of there own, but the life that we all lead in unity is in a way amazing.
A lot of us wake up every morning with the problem of not wanting to get out of the warm blankets while others wake in fear of not being able to find breakfast for themselves. There are demons we all face. It doesn't matter if your old, young, rich, poor, famous, original, educated or not....we all face demons of certain things. But, when we have a chance... a chance to escape those demons, we go to where we might find serendipity. For some that's the mall, and for some, like me, its a quiet place. Somewhere where we can embrace the true beauty and find something amazing, and just think to ourselves or even perhaps think out loud for some. No matter what, there's always going to be bad things or things we hate in this world. But,we get to experience so much that they balance each other out and leave us with nothing else to think of besides amazement.
