hope

hope hōp to cherish a desire with anticipation

It's amazing how such a tiny thing like a text message or an email has the power to arouse hope in someone. I haven't really allowed myself to hope in a very long time, I'd become quite cynical and felt like every time I started to hope that those desires were almost immediately dashed. I don't really know what has changed in me over the past few months, but I find myself hopeful again. I hear from certain people, and my heart just soars thinking and dreaming of all the possibilities that are open to me. I hope this feeling lasts (see what I did there, I'm so clever sometimes).
