Hope.

"There's hope for the hopeless." - A Fine Frenzy. (That's a great song - you should check it out)!

What is hope?
Hope : A feeling of desire. You want something to be true or to happen. Hope indicates some sort of belief that what you want or desire is possible and can come true - though this is not always the case.

Everyone, whether they like it or not, has some kind of hope in their life. Everyone hopes for something, whether it is for themself or for someone else. Everyone has a dream, a wish, a goal, a hope they want to happen and become reality. Think about it. What do you want?

What is life without hope?
A life without hope is a life without disappointment. A life without hope is a stable life, no surprises, no shocks, no disappointements. To never be blindsided and unable to consider something, never too out of your depth. To never have a single emotion get the better of you. Always knowing exactly where you're going, where you path is leading without steering off track into the unknown.

What is life without hope?
A life without hope is a life without true happiness. Without that sudden sheer overwhelming happiness when a hope of yours turns into a reality, a wonderful, surprising and beautiful reality. To never have a single emotion get the better of you, take over you and make you feel on top of the world. To never have an adventure, to never have a chance to go off on a new path and see what wonders you might find down it.

Someone told me that we should have a life with as little hope as possible because it is hope that gets us into a mess emotionally, and it is hope that is the reason for us getting hurt.
For a while, I believed it. But without hope, I would not have that moment. The moment of sheer happiness when nothing else in the world matters because I'm just so happy. Even if it's just for those few seconds. BUt it's worth it. It's worth it every time.


"Hoping is just one letter away from being very unstable."
"What?"
"Hopping."
"You'd better start practising your hopping then."

February has started looking good. Yesterday, I didn't go to school, I tried and failed to get there because of the traffic and the snow. I ended up speaking to a friend for most of the day, then talking to the boy (the one I said I was getting over - I could, if I wanted...!) and I was very happy about the conversations we had, then I had a laugh with my Dad trying to sort out my student finance. Also, it was my cousin's 18th birthday so we went for a drink with her and all of the family, I saw an old friend too. It was a really good day and night.

My hope for this month : I hope it isn't a bad month like January, I forgot to say "white rabbits" again. I hope it doesn't make too much of a difference. But it's looking good so far.
