The Neverending Story was probably one of my most favorite movies growing up.
Though one scene, in which Atreyu's horse, Artax, gives up and sinks into the swamps of sadness still makes me teary eyed.
In the end though, Atreyu triumphed, peace, calm, happiness and a sense of whole was returned. He even got his horse back.
he didnt give up. he fought even at times when it seemed there was no point to.
and things got better. but only because he kept trying.
Likewise, even though im mired down in the swamp, sinking.... convinced i will never emerge, i have to hold on to hope.
hope that my luck will swoop down and pluck me from despair.
and i will ride triumphant across the plains of light, into the next happy chapter of my life.
