Hope

The thing about life is one moment you are so hopeful for one thing, and the next you witness your dreams being shattered to pieces right before your eyes. And then before you can properly grieve over the failure, another door of opportunity pops up with its welcoming arms. And from there, you start scrapping the ashes of hope off the earth surface and trying to glue them together to make one complete hope again. 

The moral of the story is no matter how likely something seems, it can come crumbling down with one unexpected blow. Likewise, no matter how impossible something appears to be sometimes, you have to cling onto hope and faith and believe that bubble gums can rain from the sky. We are supposed to be ready, and as cliche as it may sound, hope for the best and prepare for the worst. Just like Ted once said, "Sometimes things have to break apart for better things to happen."

I myself have been there and done that. I have been hopeless about things that are just within fingertips, yet I have rejoiced in watching the impossible stripping itself off the "im" and become possible when I least expect it. And through these experiences, I have, against odds and adversities, held onto hope. Hope that something breaks and falls into pieces because it is not meant to be. Hope that something better and nicer is just around the corner. Hope that keeps life worthwhile.
