Hope

Why I Hope.

I hope to keep life going. It seems whenever I don't have hope placed upon something, I have nothing to go upon, nothing to work for. I hope that I will graduate HS, if I didn't, I wouldn't work toward it. I hope that my sister is happy, so I try my best to make her happy. I hope that I will be able to look myself in the mirror each morning of my life, so I try the best to make decisions that will enable me to do so.

Yet, I am also scared of hope. Some things I place hope on, I cannot tell if there is an actual movement forward to this "hope," I like to see the change my hope does (as shown in the examples above.) Yet, I keep hoping because the accomplishments that come with it are so much greater than the fear because they create joy (when you pass a test that you feared you failed, you feel joy not fear), and joy diminishes fear. When I am scared I often find myself singing a joyful tune, and the fear ebbs away. Hope will do this, if you put a progression, or try to, to your hope. I hope to keep life going.
