Hope

A belief that something desired will happen...to want something and to consider it possible...Simple definitions of 'hope'.

Several people have said that it is better to have faith than hope. That many should not hope too much because it hurts when the hopes are shattered. That hopes create a false dream within oneself and thus are highly poisonous. So they feel that people should have more faith instead.

And so I do realize now why people call me the Queen of Hopes. Yes... I hope a lot. Hope even when things seem totally impossible. I do not know why but I guess that is what that moulds me to who I am today.

I believe that a hope in you helps you to create a dream of your own. And as your hopes increase, your dreams meet another level. And you get motivated to try to achieve this dream. Hopes guide you throughout your journey. They make you believe that although something is highly unachievable, you will still go on to try. That's because you have a hope. You know that things may turn out the way you have hoped. The way I always believe it to be.

Then sometimes hopes are shattered by reality - when things do not turn out the way you expected it to be. You just tremble and fall at one go. You just fall endlessly. No one is below to pick you up. Even if there are people to guide and console you, you just feel extremely broken. Because you have seen your hopes killed at one shot. That's exactly how a person with high hopes feels when the cruel reality just burns things down.

But then there is a satisfaction within the heart of this person. The satisfaction of seeing the dream being created within the hopes of his heart. Although the dream never became real, he feels glad that his hopes drove him to try harder each time. That the tiny hopes have grown to huge ones and have pushed him to this far. Then the dream was seen in his carved art of imagination with the help of hopes.

But even after the hopes are shattered, some do keep hoping. This people are engulfed in the world of hopes. They find it difficult to accept the reality. These are people who want to continue the dream they had plotted with their hopes. They do not want reality to kill the hopes off. They are creating their own story within the walls of their hopeful hearts. Although they continue with their hopes, they still face reality. But deep within, they are hopelessly hoping... for something that already has shattered. They know not of the reason for continuing... but maybe it could just be their hopes.

And thus I hoped, I am hoping and I will hope for the dreams I have created. My hopes engulf my heart, which holds the dream of my life. But for the shattered hopes, I have wrapped them with love and kept them hidden deep within my heart. Although I will let them go, those special hopes shall never perish from memory!
