Sometimes is amazes me how wonderful things can be. Nothing especially grand has happened today; I just had classes, I didn't get that much sleep, I have homework to do. But still, it has just struck me that despite all the work, fights, tears, disappointments, injuries, scares, and heartbreaks that have occurred in everyone's past and that are still occurring right now--the world is a beautiful place. And perhaps the good stuff is even greater because of all that.
There are some people who can't help but see ugliness everywhere they go, can't get over anything unpleasant that has ever happened to them. And for some reason, today it really hit home. They can try to do what they will, but they can't make me think like them unless I want to.
And I don't.
This is just a general musing, and probably cliched. But it's a freeing feeling to know that I'm not letting anyone's bad attitude affect me anymore.

Salías del templo un día, Llorona,
Cuando al pasar yo te vi;
Salías del templo un día, Llorona,
Cuando al pasar yo te vi;
Hermoso huipil llevabas, Llorona,
Que la Virgen te creí.

Ay de mi, Llorona, Llorona,
Llorona de azul celeste,
Ay de mi, Llorona, Llorona,
Llorona de azul celeste,
No dejaré de quererte, Llorona
Aunque la vida me cueste.
No dejaré de quererte, Llorona
Aunque la vida me cueste.

Todos me dicen el negro, Llorona,
Negro pero cariñoso.

Yo soy como el chile verde, Llorona,
Picante pero sabroso.
