"The dance of yearning and annoyance is best experienced when a loved one is ill. It is only then that annoyances are yearned for and once again annoying when their health returns."

SEARCH: 1-25-2026 ChatGPT 5.2

1) This is my original quote - Jelani K. Asantewa. I would like to verify it as original. Please do a though search to see if this exact quote is recorded as a quote by another author. Please search all forms of media: Written, spoken or artistic. Thank you., 

( I forgot to add quote 1-25-2026)

I can absolutely help verify originality — but I need the exact quote text (word-for-word, including punctuation/capitalization) to do a true “exact match” check across media.

Right now, you only included the attribution line (“Jelani K. Asantewa”), not the quote itself.

What I found in an initial sweep (based on your name, since the quote text wasn’t provided)

• I found a page on msjsmountain.com credited to Jelani K. Asantewa that includes the line: “Large or small. Edible or inedible, … a garden makes us happy.” (MSJS Mountain)

• I did not find that full “a garden makes us happy” wording recorded elsewhere in the quick search results I pulled. (MSJS Mountain)

• However, the phrase “Large or small, edible or inedible” does appear in older, unrelated writing (example: a 1975 outdoors magazine page about fishing). (Digital Library of Georgia)
  So if that’s part of your quote, that specific fragment isn’t unique by itself — the uniqueness would be in the full sentence/structure and the “garden makes us happy” framing.

What I need from you (so I can verify your exact quote)

Please paste:

1. The quote exactly as you wrote it

2. Any common variants you’ve used (e.g., “in the end” vs “at the end”, spelling, line breaks)

What I’ll search once you paste it (written, spoken, artistic)

I’ll run exact-phrase checks across:

• Web pages + quote databases + book text (scanned books/ebooks)

• Academic PDFs and newspaper/magazine archives

• Video/podcast transcripts and speech quote compilations (where indexed)

• Merch/art listings (posters, tees, pins) where quotes are reused

Send the quote text and I’ll do the thorough “is this attributed to someone else anywhere?” verification.

SEARCH 2: ChatGPT 5.2    (1-25-2026)

I ran exact-phrase and fragment searches for your quote across the open web (including places where quotes often get reposted/attributed like quote aggregators, blogs, forums, and social platforms that are publicly indexed). I did not find your exact quote text recorded as a quotation credited to anyone else.

What I searched (and what turned up)

• Exact-string searches for the full opening clause and other uniquely identifying chunks (e.g., "The dance of yearning and annoyance", "annoyances are yearned for", and "once again annoying when their health returns"). None of those searches produced an exact match to your full wording. (Facebook)

• Quote-repository style pages (Goodreads “annoyance quotes,” BrainyQuote annoyance topic pages, AZQuotes annoyance topic pages). These showed many “annoyance” quotes, but not your wording or concept phrased the same way. (Goodreads)

Closest “near matches” (same idea, different words)

The closest I found was a Psychology Today essay describing the experience of realizing you’d “gladly put up with” a loved one’s irritating habits after they’re gone—conceptually adjacent to your point about yearning for annoyances during illness, but it is not your phrasing and not the same scenario. (Psychology Today)

There are also counseling/psychology resources acknowledging that annoyance is a normal emotion when a loved one is ill, which overlaps with your theme, but again not your expression. (Loyola University Maryland)

What this means (in plain terms)

• Good news: I didn’t find evidence that this exact quote is already circulating under another author’s name.

• Reality check: It’s hard to prove absolute global originality because some books, paywalled archives, and spoken media transcripts aren’t fully indexed. But for “is this already attributed to someone else online?” this comes back clean.

If you want the strongest “proof trail” for originality

Do a quick “paper trail” lock-in:

• Publish it in a dated place you control (your website, a book, a newsletter, etc.).

• Keep a dated original draft (email it to yourself, keep a version-history doc).

• If you plan to use it commercially (prints/merch), consider a short “first published” note and consistent attribution.

If you want, tell me where you’ve already used/published it (if anywhere) and I’ll also search specifically for reposts of your quote (with or without your name) to see if it’s been scraped or misattributed.

When well things are bad you wish for the annoying habits when deathly ill, until they get well,
