Word of the Week #356:
Hope… It is an odd thing, isn’t it?
Just how much of hope is too much? When is the right time to give up?
In life, we may endeavour to keep moving forward, but where do we go when we don’t know which way that is?
Hope is a double-edged sword. It can keep leading us down a path. If we don’t know if that’s the right way, is it better to keep moving forward, or is it better to just stop till we know where to go?
We can’t let go of hope. Sometimes, that’s all we have, right? Sometimes, that’s all that can keep us going.
But at the same time, putting your hope in the wrong thing could lead you somewhere you never wanted to be. Somewhere you truly do not belong.
Usually, when I start writing about something, I tend to stumble into a solution. The process of reorganising my thoughts and turning them into a cogent stream of words is enough to reveal the answers hidden within my own head.
Not this time, I guess…
So perhaps I should just keep taking small steps forward to handle everything that needs my attention, stay steady and prepared, and not make any drastic changes to my life.
All the while, I await an external change that illuminates my path for me…
Waiting for a ray of hope to appear sounds almost too hopeful to be reasonable. But when have I been described as the most reasonable of individuals, right?
