Life is a weird thing. The world is a weird place.
In movies, the bad things always happen when the skies are gray and people are sad. You wouldn't think that bad things happen when the sun is shining at it's brightest are when people are at their happiest because they accomplished something that they worked months, years toward.
But they do happen.
As I looked out into the sunset today, basking in the beauty of the fourth straight gorgeous sunset I've witnessed this week (see the post from two days ago if you want to know what I'm talking about), I thought about how, out there, somebody (or a lot of people, probably) is having the worst day of their life. And yet, somebody out there is probably having the best day of their life...
Beauty exists even in the worst of times. I'm thankful that I'm alive to witness it.
Bad things happen when all looks well.
And good things happen when all looks bleak. Throughout the day, I've been seeing reports of people donating blood, opening their homes to people who need care and internet to get in touch with their families, running toward the danger to help those in need instead of running away from it to protect themselves.
There is good in this world. And I'm thankful that it outweighs the bad.
I'm sorry that this is kind of disorganized. These are just some thoughts that have been buzzing around my head all afternoon/evening, and I needed to get them out.
My heart and thoughts go out to anyone involved with the Boston attacks. I hope you and your loved ones are safe. <3
