Hope.

It can be good or bad, I suppose. Hope gives me drive, it's that little niggling feeling I get when it dawns on me that there is a possibility, there is a chance, and so why not see that sliver of opportunity through? The little piece of heart in me that believes and has faith, that's what keeps me going! :) That's why Hope was the last remaining item that remains in Pandora's box, it is an amazingly powerful weapon that, when channelled correctly, can bring great things upon ourselves and others. On the other hand, when our hopes are dashed, it does make us wish that we hadn't hoped at all in the first place, just so that it won't hurt that much when what we have hoped for and believed in doesn't come through in the end. But isn't it better to live with passion and ambition, have our hopes dashed but get up stronger and more determined than ever, than to live an aimless life without the painful emotions that, although difficult to experience, allow us to have greater depth and maturity as individuals?

Haha oops I see that I just had one of my... moments xD Sorry for the super long and jumbled up sentences, just had to get it out of my system, I guess. :) And yes, I am getting my hopes for certain things/people rekindled again, and it feels absolutely fantastic! :D

And that’s why I smile.
It’s been a while
Since everyday and everything has felt this right
And now
You turn it all around
And suddenly you’re all I need
The reason why,
I-I-I, I smile.
