Chapter 293: Still Beautiful

Today was not a very interesting day. I don't have much to say about it & I am going to try to keep it short. If I'm being honest, it was actually kind of a bad day, which is why I don't want to spend too much time talking about it. It reminds me of one of my favorite songs by one of my long-time favorite artists, Jessica Simpson. The song is from her most recent album, "Do You Know," and it is called "Still Beautiful." The chorus of this song says, "They won't all be sunny days, Life's gonna bring down some rain but after it's over I'll be that much stronger for the pain, so even when I'm sad I know every day I have is still beautiful." I love that song and listen to it somewhat frequently because it spreads such a positive message. No matter how bad a day, a week, a month or even a year may be, you have to take a step back and look at the bigger picture of your life and realize how entirely beautiful it is just to be alive. It is so important to remember that and to not let a single crappy moment or even an entire crappy day bring you down. Life IS still beautiful. So, even if I woke up late, couldn't manage to write or draw a single thing worth a damn, received some disheartening news right off the bat, spent the day feeling kind of crappy and got completely ignored by a boy, I have to remember that life is still incredibly and entirely and undeniably beautiful. It is great. Like I said, I'm not going to waste any time discussing it in detail. I am done, in fact. I'm in the process of making dinner and watching Rufus Wainwright on "Chelsea Lately." He is adorable and hilarious and immensely talented - a major inspiration to me. So, instead of recounting this day, I am going to end this here and focus my attention on things that inspire me. Have a great night!
