finding beauty in everything.

i think it's so important to be positive and see the beauty in everything, no matter how small, no matter how big. despite the bad things that have happened, are happening, and will happen, i think the world is inherently good and that people are inherently good. i think i'd fall apart if i didn't believe that and constantly remind myself of it. there will always be bad in our world. oftentimes, there is very little we can do to change that. what we can do is focus on finding beauty despite that and through that beauty, finding peace and contentment. if we don't, we're setting ourselves up for sadness and disappointment. we'll be missing the point of life.
