hopeful
optimistic that something good will happen
Hope drives. It takes the wheel and drives. It can drive people to do amazing and crazy things. I think hope is just as powerful as some people believe karma to be. Some external force is fueling hope. The strength hope provides is just too unexplainable. Hope is also such a simple concept for such a powerful thing. Just believe. Just know. The confidence. The trust. The hope that things will get better, the hope that things will change. It keeps people alive, it is everyone’s reason to live. That sounds so strong, but I genuinely believe hope gets everyone through conflicts. No one would find conflict worth it if they didn’t have hope they would come out the other side. Unless they’re crazy. I think they might have more hope then.

“Hope is the thing with feathers- That perches in the soul- And sings the tune without the words- And never stops- at all”
Emily Dickinson
“One day, the snow of your heart will melt, making space for hope. Be patient.”
Alexandra Vasiliu, BLOOMING
“Even as you struggle
to put hope
on your path of darkness
even when you are broken
and don’t know where you belong
you are still being heard,
still being loved
just as you are.”
Dhiman
“My hope has turned brittle
Beneath these sour clouds.
I wait for the weather to change,
For the branches to bloom,
For the sky to pivot.
These winter hours have stretched
Longer than a season
But I will wait. I will wait.”
Raquel Franco
“amongst the fear + doubt tumble
protect your cherry blush smile,
your baby’s breath peace,
your juniper laughter,
and magnolia hope.
protect it. protect it. protect it.”
