Hope
StandardWhere there’s life, there’s hope.
I heard this today on Supernatural. It was said in a glib, facetious way to put on a happy face, to show that the character didn’t care about his future, but the fact is that he does care. Underneath it all, he’s an optimist.
I would always call myself a realist; or even a pessimist. I have a knack for finding the dark cloud in every silver lining, but slowly, that seems to be changing.
My mantra drones on in my head, it will all be alright, and I think…. I think I might actually meant it.
