found this thru a john green tiktok. he explained it like hope is a constant and something we may lose contact with at times, but it’s also readily available to us when we’re ready to access it again.
I echo a lot of what other ppl said already. i use a lot of that stuff myself but i’ll add this and leave you with something new i’m trying. I 💖 catastrophizing and my therapist (smartest person alive) recommended I start a “what could go right list” and when I write it I focus on specific things i’ve done to make something go right. it helps me feel like I have my shit together and things will work out even when everything feels bad.

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 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?
