other people's blogs

so this blog thing usually just generates a lot of fluff and amusing things to read when you're bored at work, but matt has brought a blog entry to my attention that i feel i must share with everyone. for those of you who already read matt's blog, i apologize. but for those of you who don't, check out the following excerpt from queserasera:

For the past few days, I’ve been formulating this theory. My theory is that for almost every single person on the planet, there’s this one sentence, and that almost every single person on the planet believes that if this one sentence was said to them by the right person at the right place or at the right time or with the right words, everything the person longed for would come true, and their life would right itself, or start an entirely new and glorious path, and they’d finally be happy.

Of course, I know this one magic sentence won’t really do all of that, but I still think almost every single person on the planet hopes to hear it, and that’s partly the thing that keeps them alive.

i love this. the fact that it's true is both extremely uplifting and saddening at the same time. or maybe it makes me smile because recently i was asked a very lovely question on a romantic beach at sunset. i suppose if you haven't heard such a sentence in a long time, this could be extremely depressing. but i choose to think of it as a very romantic notion with a lot of optimism.

alright, i'm gonna leave you all and go back to all my happiness and my apparent 'glowing', according to my landlord.
