Hope


There were a dozen white roses in my locker tonight with a note attached that said "hope."


In a religious context, hope is considered a spiritual grace.

The Greeks considered hope to be as dangerous as all the world's evils.

I find hope to be inspiring, motivating, and refreshing.

Hope promises optimism. Optimism is positivity.

There's not really a negative way to be hopeful.

So...what do I hope for?

That's easy.
I hope that I am a better person than I was yesterday.
I hope that I made a difference to someone today, even in a simple random act of kindness.
I hope my friends and family would reach out to me if they ever needed anything.
I hope that I can find laughter and love surrounding me through out my day.
I hope that I never lose hope.

I suppose these random, beautiful flowers are a breath of positivity, a dose of optimism, that anyone would crave.
 Sounds delicious, but I suppose I'll just enjoy their beauty and resist consumption.
