I have a quote written down somewhere that I heard from a friend. I have no idea where it came from, or who said it.

"If you do not allow yourself hope, it cannot be crushed,
but without hope, life cannot be worth living."

Now, I'm not sure. Which is better, to let yourself hope that things might change for the better, that situations, people, the world, can change, or to just accept that some things never will.

Sometimes I allow myself to hope they will, but usually I don't notice I have done until I'm proved wrong. I probably should give up and just accept some things as they are. But I can't. You see, under it all, I'm a hopeful person, I can't help it. I believe things can, and will turn out for the best. That's the thing about hope, once you have it, you just can't shake it off!
