He is the most beautiful creature I have ever seen and it's not about his face, but the life force I can see in him. It's the smile and the pure promise of everything he has to offer. Like he's saying, 'Here I am world, are you ready for so much passion and beauty and goodness and love and every other word that should be in the dictionary under the word life?' Except this boy is dead, and the unnaturalness of it makes me want to pull my hair out with Tate and Narnie and Fitz and Jude's grief all combined. It makes me want to yell at the God that I wish I didn't believe in. For hogging him all to himself. I want to say, 'You greedy God. Give him back. I needed him here.Melina Marchetta
About This Quote
Contentment doesn’t always come easily. When we are young, we are filled with enthusiasm and desires that keep us busy. As time passes, the changes in life happen so fast that it makes it hard to stay motivated. Life can be extremely difficult, especially when you are trying to work through the difficulties of the world.

When he allowed the death of someone dear to us, he was trying to show us that even though we cannot see his purpose for something happening, we should still believe in him anyway and that he is still listening and watching over us and doing what he can to help guide us toward finding happiness and contentment once again.
