I wish that I could always take the time to appreciate the beauty of life, especially when it is hardest to do so. It amazes me how some people have the ability to constantly look on the positive side of life, and sometimes it can annoy me. Life isn't always sunshine and rainbows, but as frustrating as it is, life is undeniably beautiful. As much as we wish that life would stop for our problems, that doesn't happen. Something that has really inspired me lately was whilst watching the TV miniseries
The Tudors. In a recent episode, Catherine Howard was executed, and right before the axe falls she looks up and says "life is very beautiful". Now I'm not silly, I know that it is almost impossible to know what Catherine said during her last moments, but I find it inspiring all the same. How is it that a woman who committed treason against Henry VIII and was sentenced to death still able to say this? After seeing her beloved executed before her and anticipating her fate, she is still able to remain positive. So if this woman is able to remain so spirited regardless of her shitty circumstances and impending doom, why can't I? Whether or not Catherine deserved her fate or not is not the point here, my life is sunshine and rainbows in comparison. So because I don't have a bloody axe hanging over my neck, I'm sure that I can more than manage to believe that life is very beautiful.
