Throughout history comets have been known to inspire humankind. They have been a shining beacon in the sky which can inspire hope and love. They have been the light when all else was dark, they have I’m sure given humankind belief and strength and been the light that has guided the way to something of sheer greatness.

I’m one of a few in the world lucky enough to know what the inspiration of a comet can be like, I have seen one soar across the night sky, and set it ablaze with light, but more than that it’s hope, it’s inspiration, belief, strength. I am even luckier that I have my own comet, and she does not rest in the sky, but rather she takes a human form.

In the few short years I’ve known her, I have realized the magnitude of her grace, her astonishing beauty, her unmatched smarts and the sheer desire to fulfill her dreams. The way she loves, and how she touches everything that is graced by her presence. Those qualities are what make me sure that someday she will excel to unearthly heights. I doubt she knows it yet and wouldn’t admit it, but I’ll be there for the day I get to say, “I told you so”.

Her qualities are what inspire me to be something greater than I am, that I know I can someday be. It’s is her belief in me, when I do not believe in myself that makes me stand so tall. It is her radiance that lights my path to desires of greatness and it is her friendship that makes me strong and resistant to whatever comes my way. Most of all it is her love, it’s the way she loves me that will ultimately see that I reach greatness, and when I do… I want nothing more than for her to be standing right next to me. So I am thankful for my comet because she gives me light in an otherwise dark world.
