hope and yearning are two very different things and while yearning can be natural at times itโs not gotten me places or offered solutions like hope has. hope is optimistic, hope believes in possibilities.

On a scientific level :
The chance of you being you (your unique genetic makeup) from just one conception is estimated at 1 in 70 trillion, which is translated to 0.0000000000014286%.
This information by itself gives me hope that I was put on this earth for something BIG (for me).
On a religious level (a side of myself that i keep to me only because it's my personal spiritual journey) :
In my religion, they say before we get born, God shows us our whole path in this life and we chose to either accept it and live it as seen or not, so for me honestly this information gives me hope on a daily basis, to know that i chose this life with all its bad and good moments means i saw something that i will eventually be thankful for.
On a day to day level :
Humans do give me hope in different shapes :
- Watching people being with animals is hope
- Watching parents being gentle with their babies is hope
- Watching people work hard to rescue animals is hope
- To see people manifest for a human cause in public is hope
- The warm sunlight is hope
- Working Hard thinking about the future is hope
- Doctors who volunteer in rural areas is hope
With the right mindset i think everything can be and is HOPE, even the sad parts like crying to sleep over something, because if you think about it the fact that you care that much to the point it makes you sad is a form of hope because you have feelings.

i used to think it's useless to hope for things because life does not go according to plan, but all the corny advice is true... deciding it is impossible makes it impossible. this goes for love, career, etc. - being hopeful has changed my life in ways i never expected. and if something really is impossible and the choice is to be optimistic and wrong or cynical and right, why not do the option thats more fun...

I can be a pretty pessimistic person but I truly believe that having hope is the only way to move forward. How else would we be there for ourselves and others?

watching the tree change and being there for all itโs subtle stages of browning and blooming is a beautiful experience that can yield great appreciation and joy. i believe that spending time in nature when the seasons are changing can provide much comfort and relief to seasonal depression and other feelings that come when the days grow dark and cold.
