for all the humans out there...

when someone walks slowly in front of me, or drives slowly, or yells at their kid, or crowds me on the train, etc. etc. etc. i usually growl "i hate humans."

obviously this is not really true, but sometimes i just feel so frustrated with the human race overall. there's a lot of bad stuff going on in this world [yes, much worse than getting cut off on the freeway] and sometimes i wonder how bad things will get.

you know that anne frank quote "in spite of everything i still believe that people are really good at heart"? i think of that line a lot and i don't know if i truly agree with that. or at least i didn't use to.

but yesterday b sent me the link to this video. i was working and didnt want to watch it but he said it was amazing, so i did. and i cried.

check it out if you have time -- or if not, bookmark it and come back to it. it's kind of silly, but it just fills my heart up with so much love for ALL the people in this big world. i still tear up every time i watch it -- no matter how people act, how different we are, how spread out the world is, every single person is a child of god. maybe there really is enough good and happiness in this world to get us through.

Awww, thanks for that, Lyndsey. What an awesome video. Now I feel like I need to join the Peace Corp or something. Do they have a policy against toddlers enlisting? :)

This made me smile. Sometimes I hate people too. Glad I'm not the only one.
