Hope Bubbles Quotes

“I have learned,
we are not our happiest when we get what we want--
then we are prone to pick--
aware of all the flaws and tradeoffs
in our realized-but-imperfect fantasy.

We are our happiest
when we have hope.”
― Shellen Lubin

“Hope is bubbling
in the ocean of our collective lives...

I can feel the hope bubbling inside,
popping little pockets of air
rising to the surface.

I try to suppress them--
too soon, unsure, can't afford to risk--
but why?
And why would I want to?
Those bubbles pop joy into the air,
spring action to life,
and they feel so good,
massaging the soul.”
― Shellen Lubin
