#oth quotes

the boy saw a comet

The boy saw the comet and felt as though his life had meaning.

And when it went away,

he waited his entire life for it to come back to him.

It was more than just a comet because of what it brought to his life: direction, beauty, meaning.

There are many who couldn't understand, and sometimes he walked among them.

But even in his darkest hours, he knew in his heart that someday it would return to him, and his world would be whole again...

And his belief in God and love and art would be re-awakened in his heart.

he's just this lost little boy,

and then he sees the comet,

and his life suddenly has meaning.

and then he waits his whole life for the comet to return,

he has faith that it will

even though science and his intellect tells him it won't, his heart still believes

The boy saw the comet,

and suddenly his life had meaning.

We’re always thinking that someday we’ll be happy;

We’ll get that car,

Or that job,

Or that person in our lives that will fix everything.

But happiness is a mood,

And it’s a condition,

Not a destination.

It’s like being tired or hungry,

It’s not permanent.

It comes and goes,

And that’s okay.

And I feel like if people thought of it that way,

They’d find happiness a lot more often.

“It’s the oldest story in the world. One day you’re 17 and planning for someday. And then quietly and without you ever really noticing, someday is today. And then someday is yesterday. And this is your life.”
