We all need a little bit of hope and belief in our lives. I am constantly talking about the search for something, the search of something that makes sense, a search for somewhere I can escape to. This is all hope, obviously. I can't exactly pick up and leave, but writing is my escape.
Jack Heffron quotes that 'hope is a complex emotion. It's tied to longing.' He then goes on to say that hope gives up some kind of jump to do something, it keeps us focused and directed with a hing of energy linked in. Hope gives us the chance to believe in something to make us move on, move up or carry on with something we are doing or how we are feeling. 'Writing is an act of hope' he says as an opening to this book. Meaning that hope gives us the ground level for everything, hope keeps us determined.
When I read his passage about hope, it made me realise that no matter what happens in life, we can never give up on ourselves or anyone else for that matter. When he give up hope, we give up everything we rely on. Writing is my act of hope, and if you feel the same, never give it up.
Thank you for reading
