The test of character is not persistence when you expect a light at the end of the tunnel. The true test is performance and persistence

January 1 is a beginning of a new year
One that I hope for you is full of cheer.
A year that brings all that you hope for
And may you find even more.

We are the good news that we have been looking for,
Demonstrating that every dusk holds a dawn disguised within it.
Today we don’t burst into a new world.
We begin it.

Writing, truth-telling to one another, is an act of hope-making when hope is hardest found. What place have we in our histories except the present.

Never, ever, ever give up! Chances are if you feel like giving up, you’re right on the edge of your breakthrough.

Where God guides, He provides. No matter how things look, God is still in control. Stay in peace and be hopeful. Your blessing is coming soon.

God will take you anywhere, for a good reason in the end. Do not fear. He will make a way for you.

When some things do not work out, it is because God has something figured out.

If God can raise the dead and bring them back to life. Surely, your situation cannot be too complicated for Him.

Put your hope in God, and trust that God is in control!

We may not see it now but God is in control and has a reason for everything.

You are not alone in your troubles since God sees and hears everything. God has prepared a way for you to be delivered, so hold fast and be steady.

Today, let me comfort you that God knows exactly where you are and how to get you there. His hand is on you even when things don’t turn out the way you had hoped.

In whatever situation you are in never think that it’s an impossible situation because with God all things are possible… For God always makes a way.

When you feel like you have no one, God is there. He is our rock our base of who we are. He will always be there when you need a helping hand. Trust in The Lord.

There is a light in every darkness, you just have to look forward, realize GOD always prevails, and know GOD created a night and day.

To anyone who had a rough day: God has everything under control. Don’t allow a hard day to get in the way of an eternity with your Savior.

Sometimes when life gets hard and out of control you have to just put it all on God’s altar and trust that he knows what he’s doing and what you will become.

Keep your head high don’t focus on the ground
Keep moving forward with your hopes and dreams.

Always hope but never expect. If ever things don’t turn out like you expect, never lose faith and keep your head up.

So keep your chin up and look up high. You’ll find your troubles will pass you by.

Hold your head high, stick your chest out. You can make it. It gets dark sometimes but morning comes…. Keep hope alive.

You’re about to overcome something you’ve been dealing with. Your mind and heart will soon be at peace again. Be patient. Everything will be okay.

You’ll get through this. And I know it’s impossible to believe right now, but it gets better. Trust me.

No matter how hopeless you feel, strive to find the one thing that makes you feel alive and pull yourself to the light at the

Be brave, you will not see the light at the end of tunnel if you don’t walk through the darkness.

Life wore a man out, wore a man thin.
Tomorrow would be a better day.

I knew that I was dying.
Something in me said,
Go ahead, die, sleep, become as them, accept.
Then something else in me said, no,
save the tiniest bit.
It needn’t be much, just a spark.
A spark can set a whole forest on fire.
Just a spark.
Save it.

Goodness can be found sometimes in the middle of hell.

Maybe now all looks dark, but hope will come again. It will find you. However much you may resist it, or even trample it, however many times you’re thrown into despair, hope will always return to give you strength when you need it most. You may struggle & you may doubt…but hope will bloom.

The warmth in our hearts is proof that there is light. It’s so small that it seems like even a tiny wind might blow it out…but the light is definitely there.

It’s true that this world isn’t enveloped in light. But…there’s more to it than that. It isn’t all darkness. There’s more to it than that.

There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t.

Maybe you are having a bad day. But don’t feel bad, things will turn over.

There’s always more to life than we expect, even in our darkest hours.

I know that happy things and fun things eventually come to an end. But things that are scary and sad come to an end, too.

When the time comes that you reach the end of your rope. You simply have to tie a knot on it and hang on. Believe

Everything will get better, even if it doesn’t seem like it now.

Pause and remember – Everyone gets discouraged and feels lost at times. Don’t worry – life will get better. A new way is being made

Rainbows exist to prove that beautiful things can happen even after a bad storm.

“Tomorrow will be better.”
“But what if it’s not?” I asked.
“Then you say it again tomorrow. Because it might be. You never know, right? At some

Hope for a better tomorrow, lightens the burden of today. Never stop believing. Tomorrow will be better than today.

Never fear shadows. They simply mean there is some light nearby. Good Night!

Always end the day with a positive thought. No matter how hard things were, tomorrow’s a fresh opportunity to make it better.

All of us bring light to exciting solutions never tried before
For it is our hope that implores us, at our uncompromising core,
To keep rising up for an earth more than worth fighting for.

I hope you love birds too. It is economical. It saves going to heaven.

Good night my dearest love and have pleasant dreams. Here’s to hope that tomorrow will be as sunny and bright as you are.

Goodnight. Sleep awaits those of us who dare to dream.

Maybe the light is at the other end of the tunnel.

Perhaps tomorrow cannot wait to be today.

God is not done blessing you. Do not walk away from Him. He has so much in store for you.

I love you. I am who I am because of you. You are every reason, every hope, and every dream I’ve ever had, and no matter what happens to us in the future, everyday we are together is the greatest day of my life. I will always be yours.

I know we’re young and it’s early to say this… but, I hope you’re the one.

Hope you are tucked in nice and tight. See you in my dreams, my love.

Tomorrow is a new day and a new start to making things the best they can be. Let someone know what they mean to you. Good night!

Despair exits us the same way it enters —
Turning through the mouth.
Even now conviction works
Strange magic on our tongues.

Have hope for tomorrow. With a new month, there are sure to be new miracles and opportunities for you ahead. May you find the strength and conviction to get everything you desire.

Wait a minute. There’s a ray of sunshine in all that darkness down there.

No matter what yesterday looked like, today is a new day with new mercies. So wake up and face the day with hope!

Today is not the end but today is a new beginning.

Let hope give you the strength needed to keep your head up.

Good things are coming down the road. Just don’t stop walking.

At the end of the day, all you need is hope and strength. Hope that it will get better, and strength to hold on until

Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear

When we have hope, we are showing that we trust God to work out the situation. Trust is the only way we’re going to make

Maybe it’s time to leave it all behind.

This time, for the first time, I saw the possibilities in giving up. I even found hope in it.

We cannot despair of humanity, since we ourselves are human beings.

He gets hurt by the smallest touch. It’ll be okay, as long as there will finally be a day. Eventually, one day. It will be good if all our burdens would finally be released. I really hope you can do it. I hope you two can both live happily.

Saying ‘goodbye’ can be a very lonely thing.

It’s lonely to say goodbye. Very lonely. Partings are the beginnings of new meetings. Beginnings happen because there

What — live with you? Leave the Dursleys? … Of course I want to leave the Dursleys! Have you got a house? When can I move in?

To the youngsters of today, I say “Believe in the future, the world is getting better; there still is plenty of opportunity.” Why, would you believe it, when I was a kid I thought it was already too late for me to make good at anything.

That’s what we storytellers do. We restore order with imagination. We instill hope again and again and again.

True love stories never have endings.

Faith is Hope on a treadmill. Love is the reason we stay on.

You really mean [that you deserve to be punished]. Is that all people will ever be to you? A way to punish yourself for thoughts

I love you. I don’t want to take anything else from you. Or trample the hope you offer me. I’d dream that we would be

The thing is, if she didn’t love all of me, that would’ve been fine. Or even if… if she were scared, I’d get that. Because

Alright, no Kana. But maybe, you’ll find someone else to love. Someone who doesn’t bring you pain or sadness. A woman who brings you joy

I’m sorry. Rin… You haven’t found it at all, have you? Trying so hard… On your own. Even Shigure… Doesn’t know, does he? It doesn’t

Maybe it would be better… If I didn’t exist. I’m sure there was no reason… For me to be born.

In order to fight on… I want to believe that my hopes aren’t for nothing. I want to believe… That there really is more to

Tohru. My dream, you know? Is to be a violinist. I want to be a violinist… And have a small concert… And… Papa and Mama

Someday… no matter how cold it is now… the snow will melt. Without fail.

I hope I can say it — “I was born for you.” It would be nice if I could… Say that someday. Perhaps that person

Every night I think of you before bed with the hopes of having you in my dreams.

At some time, often when we least expect it, we all have to face overwhelming challenges. When the unthinkable happens, the lighthouse is hope. Once we find it, we must cling to it with absolute determination. When we have hope, we discover powers within ourselves we may have never known- the power to make sacrifices, to endure, to heal, and to love. Once we choose hope, everything is possible.

What an anchor is to a ship, hope is to the soul. Both ships and souls are kept safe by a firm, secure anchor that keeps holding despite turbulent winds and churning tides.

The strongest anchor is hope.

We must not lose hope. Hope is an anchor to the souls of men. Satan would have us cast away that anchor.

I hope that today is a day where you feel loved and supported. I hope that it’s a day when you find joy and happiness. I hope that it’s a day when you feel God’s presence in your life.

I may be as weak as ever, but something must be changing. And, of course, that’s not all because of me alone. There are a lot of people supporting me.

Ultimate hope constitutes the anchor of the soul.

Our Lord has written the promise of resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in springtime.

As miserable as life may be, I hold it pretty precious.

Wishing you the best today as you rise to life, may the Lord’s favour find you today.

My only wish for you is that God demonstrates his kindness to you throughout the whole day!

Here’s to a beautiful day, my friend! I hope it’s everything you hoped for.

May the Lord grant all of your wishes today!

I vaguely hoped that someone would come up and talk to me.

Remembering the goodness of God in the past, will help us in seasons where it’s harder to see Him.

A few nights later, I secretly hope that I might be a genius. Why else can no amount of sleeping pills fell my brain? But in the morning my daughter asks me what a cloud is and I cannot say.

God gives us hopes and dreams for certain things to happen in our lives, but He doesn’t always allow us to see the exact timing of His plan.

Each day brings new life, new strength, new dreams and new hope. May you find courage, confidence and hope to reach out for your dreams.

Such individuals come to the realization that no matter how greater their own hopes and plans for their lives, God’s hopes and plans are greater.

A fake friend is an enemy in disguise.

Every man’s insomnia is as different from his neighbor’s as are their daytime hopes and aspirations.

I’m allowed to have new dreams.

I hope that you are as great as you open your eyes to see a new day today, may the LORD make your beautiful dreams come true today, good morning.

Having a dream is like having sunshine. Without it, you cannot see as clear. With it, your world shines. Have a dream, and the light will fill your eyes with hope.

Because if you stay true to yourself and live your life boldly, someday you might be able to meet someone who will want to eat takoyaki with you more than anyone else.

Surely you are not going to shut the door in my face.

Optimist: day dreamer more elegantly spelled.

I thank God for you every single day. You are such a blessing in my life. I hope you have a wonderful day.

We do not hope for no reason.
Hope is the reason for itself.
We don’t care for our beloveds
For any specific, singular logic,
But, rather, for the whole of them.
That is to say,
Love is justified by loving.

Every breath from my bronze-pounded chest we will raise this wounded world into a wondrous one. We will rise from the gold-limbed hills of the West. We will rise from the wind-swept Northeast where our forefathers first realized revolution. We will rise from the Lake Rim cities of the Midwestern states. We will rise from the sun-baked South.

This is the era of just redemption. We feared it at its inception. We did not feel prepared to be the heirs of such a terrifying hour, but within it, we found the power to author a new chapter, to offer hope and laughter to ourselves so while once we asked, how could we possibly prevail over catastrophe? Now we assert, how could catastrophe possibly prevail over us?

Mr. President, Dr. Biden, Madam Vice President, Mr. Emhoff, Americans and the world, when day comes we ask ourselves where can we find light in this never-ending shade? The loss we carry asea we must wade. We’ve braved the belly of the beast. We’ve learned that quiet isn’t always peace. In the norms and notions of what just is isn’t always justice. And yet, the dawn is ours before we knew it. Somehow we do it. Somehow we’ve weathered and witnessed a nation that isn’t broken, but simply unfinished. We, the successors of a country and a time where a skinny black girl descended from slaves and raised by a single mother can dream of becoming president only to find herself reciting for one.

When day comes, we step out of the shade aflame and unafraid. The new dawn blooms as we free it. For there is always light. If only we’re brave enough to see it. If only we’re brave enough to be it.

It was better for me when I could imagine greatness in others, even if it wasn’t always there.

Love is difficult. Whatever happens in the night, morning still always comes. Always. Has there ever been a night that had no dawn?

Every night greets the dawn. There is no night that goes on forever.

Oh, things always get better. Tomorrow will always be better. Just think about it . . . is there any time in history in which you’d rather live than now?

Morning will come, it has no choice but to come and all your prayers will be answered.

Ann, I love you. I hope my car starts. I hope the sink isn’t plugged up. I’m glad I didn’t fuck a groupie. I’m glad I’m not very good at getting into bed with strange females. I’m glad I’m an idiot. I’m glad I don’t know anything. I’m glad I haven’t been murdered. When I look at my hands and they are still on my wrists, I think to myself, I am lucky.

quiet clean girls in gingham dresses …

all I’ve ever known are whores, ex-prostitutes,
madwomen. I see men with quiet,
gentle women – I see them in the supermarkets,
I see them walking down the streets together,
I see them in their apartments: people at
peace, living together. I know that their
peace is only partial, but there is
peace, often hours and days of peace.

all I’ve ever known are pill freaks, alcoholics,
whores, ex-prostitutes, madwomen.

when one leaves
another arrives
worse than her predecessor.

I see so many men with quiet clean girls in
gingham dresses
girls with faces that are not wolverine or
predatory.

“don’t ever bring a whore around,” I tell my
few friends, “I’ll fall in love with her.”

“you couldn’t stand a good woman, Bukowski.”

I need a good woman. I need a good woman
more than I need this typewriter, more than
I need my automobile, more than I need
Mozart; I need a good woman so badly that I
can taste her in the air, I can feel her
at my fingertips, I can see sidewalks built
for her feet to walk upon,
I can see pillows for her head,
I can feel my waiting laughter,
I can see her petting a cat,
I can see her sleeping,
I can see her slippers on the floor.

I know that she exists
but where is she upon this earth
as the whores keep finding me?

that you can see it in the slow movement of

people so tired

people just are not good to each other

the rich are not good to the rich

Mrs. Halter. : I just hope you find whatever it is you’re looking for: Your Great Perhaps?
Miles: I think I have. I think I have.

When we think “It’s too late.” God says “I still have a plan.”

We know God is working behind the scenes.

I hope your day is as nice as your butt.

I just hugged you in my thoughts… hope you felt the squeeze!

You’ll be ok. The sun will rise to better days.

God has not forgotten you, He is closer to you now more than you can imagine, because He loves you very much, and He saw the Best in you, and The best is yet to come for you.

Over the years I’ve learned how to lock myself up in a prison of hope, knowing that God has nothing but His best planned for me. He promised me things concerning my ministry and my life.

My newfound freedom does make me lonely…but my happiness might be waiting for me just down the road.

The idea that everything will be right as rain tomorrow or the day after is a sad lie. The vision of everyone feeling good and beaming with joy is still a far-off dream. But, no matter how many years or decades it takes…I want to reach that goal. I want to keep working at it, without giving up.

I hope you want to stay for a long time because my heart really likes you.

Good morning, my beautiful angel. I hope you slept well and are ready to take on the day. You’re always in my thoughts and prayers.

May your day be filled with the happiness and joy that you bring to me. Good morning my love!

After a while, you just can’t cry anymore. You just have to believe that what happens is what’s supposed to happen, and you can’t change that, even if you tried. So, just dry the tears, and hope that tomorrow will be a better day.

Start everyday with new hope. Leave bad memories behind and have faith for a better tomorrow.

True love will triumph in the end — which may or may not be a lie, but if it is a lie, it’s the most

God’s way is much better than ours. So hold on tight, hang in there, strengthen your faith and everything will fall into place with God.

God might have taken something from you now but he will never leave you empty handed.

I can’t give up. Something…there must be something I can do. I want to believe that. I have to believe that.

No matter where you are God is with you. Good Morning!

God is good, even when life is not. Believe in Him.

Sail through the good days, and on bad days pick a spot of blue sky to steer toward.

My philosophy is I take today, live it the best way I can and if I wake up I’ll take another shot at tomorrow.

The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time.

If only we’d been born into a kind world…without anxiety…without fear. If we could live without hurting other people…and without being hurt. A world in which we always did what was right. If only we could have found a shortcut to the kind world we all hope for.

Everything will be alright maybe not now but soon.

I’ve always known, in the darkest moments, that if you believe, every single thing is gonna be alright.

Everything will get better soon.

You can’t always see the path ahead of you, but you can know that it will be there.

The sun will always come up in the morning, no matter how dark your night may have been.

Things are going to get better. You will be okay. Everything will be alright. Good things are coming your way!

You have to believe this. It’s your duty as a human being to believe in the goodness of the universe, and even though it may seem like everything is going wrong right now, you know that everything will get better.

Things will get better. You just have to hang in there!

New month, new beginnings. Always keep an open heart and an open mind.

This may have been a useless time for you… but I really wanted to see you!

What’s coming will always be better than what is gone.

The night is darkest just before dawn. Hold on, everything is going to be perfectly alright.

When you are on a down swing, do not feel bad. Know the swing will change and things will get better. There are good times coming.

I always try to put a seed of hope into people’s hearts. I’m not there to teach them doctrine necessarily, but to let them know that God is a good God, and has a plan for their lives. Hopefully, that will restore their faith, or draw them into faith.

Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness.

I wondered if there would ever be a day when I didn’t think about Alaska, wondered whether I should hope for a time when she would be a distant memory – recalled only on the anniversary of her death, or maybe a couple of weeks after, remembering only after having forgotten.

I will start anew
I will make amends
and I will make quite certain
that the story ends
on a note of hope
on a strong amen
and I’ll thank the world
and remember when
I was able to begin again!

New Life… New Love… New Hope…

Sending you a good morning message in the wake of the day and hoping it’s not the only GOOD you see today.

Wake up every morning with the thought that something wonderful is about to happen. Good Morning.

This morning is as beautiful as your soul. Inhale the freshness and start your day with new hope. May this wonderful day bring success to you.

Hope that each of your wishes comes true today. Cheers to a good day, dear!

Good Morning, dear! May all your efforts be recognized, valued, and rewarded today!

Hope is a renewable option: if you run out of it at the end of the day, you get to start over in the morning.

That was all a man needed: hope. It was lack of hope that discouraged a man.

New day, new hopes, new life!!

October is coming, let’s make it the most epic month!

Wave goodbye to the old and embrace the new with hope, dreams, and ambition.

The feeling of having a new beginning is a very strengthening experience. It gives you the opportunity to begin again from scratch and make the future your masterpiece.

“So,” said Sarah, “those are your readers?”
“That’s most of them, I think.”
“Don’t any intelligent people read you?”
“I hope so.”

There is hope for me yet
Because God won’t forget
All the plans He’s made for me
I have to wait and see
He’s not finished with me yet.

The One who lives outside of time invites you into a reality that is informed by His perfect plans to give you hope and a future. God speaks in the past tense about battles you’re currently fighting. And He buries the shame of yesterday in order to resurrect the moment you are in and sustain you in the season He is calling you to embrace.

Keep your head up and your hopes high and do whatever it is to make things better, and never blame situation for anything. It is you who made this situation and now you are going to be the one to make it right.

Giving up is not what you should be thinking about, no matter what it is, it can be fixed by having hope and keeping your head high.

Hard is trying to rebuild yourself, piece by piece, with no instruction book, and no clue as to where all the important bits are supposed to go.

Our hope is a certainty based on the truths that God is in complete control of our universe and that He loves us.

Of course you’ll encounter trouble. But behold a God of power who can take any evil and turn it into a door of hope.

God’s plan made a hopeful beginning. But man spoiled his chances by sinning. We trust that the story will end in God’s glory. But, at present, the other side’s winning.

What kind of future is in God’s plan? A good one to which you can look forward. That’s why you can hope.

It’s better to end something and start another than to imprison yourself in hoping for the impossible.

Never give up believing that there is hope for better days to come. Bad things happen for a reason and sometimes it is to bring us to those better days.

Even in the worst of situations – even when it seems no one in the world appreciates you – as long as you have hope, everything can get better.

We all have negative days, but that doesn’t mean we are pessimistic. We all do stupid things, but that doesn’t mean we are stupid. It’s important to be able to distinguish between what happens to us and who we are, and look forward with hope for new and better days ahead!

The hope is there. The sun is rising. Our best days are yet to come.

Hope — Hope in the face of difficulty. Hope in the face of uncertainty. The audacity of hope! In the end, that is God’s greatest gift to us… A belief in things not seen. A belief that there are better days ahead.

If I’m going to have hope, I’m going to have to learn to endure disappointment.

Sierra felt full of hope and confidence in God. She knew who she was. And she knew Whose she was. Whatever mysterious plan God had for her life, it would be an interesting one. As Christy had said earlier, God writes a different story for each person. Sierra decided hers might not be a bestseller or even a thriller. It certainly wasn’t a romance. But it was turning into a fine mystery. And she could live with that.

I think God’s hope and plan for us is pretty simple to figure out. For those who resonate with formulas, here it is: add your whole life, your loves, your passions, and your interests together with what God said He wants us to be about, and that’s your answer.

Career advice: never give up. Never lose faith. Never lose hope. Never put God in a box! Because the plans He has for you are bigger than anyone else’s understanding and way beyond your limitations. Life advice: never give up. Never lose faith. Never lose hope. Never put God in a box! Because the plans He has for you are bigger than anyone else’s understanding and way beyond your limitations!

Things will get better, keep believing.

Once you choose hope, anything’s possible.

Better days are near. Hope is much stronger than fear.

I want to inspire kids.

Shigure Sohma: Did you know that jellyfish have survived 600,000 years without having brains?
Hatori Sohma: A ray of hope for you then.

Hope gives the heart wings; the soul, an anchor.

Hope is the anchor of life.

Islam, Christianity, and Buddhism each have founder figures — Muhammad, Jesus, and the Buddha, respectively. And in thinking about these founder figures, I believe we must finally conclude that each brought a message of radical hope. To seventh-century Arabia, Muhammad brought the promise that anyone could find fulfillment and everlasting life through allegiance to the one true God. The Buddah held out hope that the suffering could be transcended. Jesus brought the message that even the last shall be first, that even the tax collectors and lepers – the outcasts – had cause for hope. And so that is the question I leave you with in this final: What is your cause for hope?

For I know the plans I have for you, “Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

The enemy knows God has a purpose and plan for your life. The enemy is the one who wants you to give up.

New beginnings are exciting! They become exciting to us because they offer the promise of hope, the anticipation of change in our lives, and the prospect that our dreams will indeed come true!

The start of something new brings the hope of something great, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.

“Yeah, well. If you’re staying here in hopes of making out with Alaska, I sure wish you wouldn’t. If you unmoor her from the rock that is Jake, God have mercy on us all. That would be some drama, indeed. And as a rule, I like to avoid drama.”
“It’s not because I want to make out with her.”
“Hold on.” He grabbed a pencil and scrawled excitedly at the paper as if he’d just made a mathematical breakthrough and then looked back up at me. “I just did some calculations, and I’ve been able to determine that you’re full of shit.”
And he was right.

Morning is the sign of hope from God. It shows that God can remove darkness from our life as morning comes after night. Good morning my friend.

May God showers upon you loads of smile, joy, laughter, hope, satisfaction, peace, kindness, health, wealth, and achievement. Good morning.

Everything good or bad in my life had started and ended within the limits of that town. It was over now, though, and a new chapter was beginning. Nothing would ever be the same as it had been before. I just hoped this chapter wouldn’t be the final one in the book.

There is no faith and no hope without sleep.

It’s best to not confuse optimism with hope. Optimism is a psychological attitude toward life. Hope goes further. It is an anchor that one hurls toward the future, it’s what lets you pull on the line and reach what you’re aiming for and head in the right direction. Hope is also theological: God is there, too.

The anchor in our world today is freedom, holding us steady in times of change, a symbol of hope to all the world.

In the storm, our only anchor is hope.

We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.

I hold steadfast to hope.

Hope is called the anchor of the soul because it gives stability to the Christian life.

We need hope, or else we cannot endure.

Anchor – Safety, hope and salvation, planting ones own roots such as having a family.

Hope holds you fast like an anchor, so you don’t give way.

Hope is the anchor of our souls. I know of no one who is not in need of hope – young or old, strong or weak, rich or poor.

Gratitude is the key to life’s full potential. That which we have becomes sufficient and much more. Confusion and disarray are transformed into clarity and acceptance. It clarifies our history, gives us comfort in the present, and gives us hope for the future.

There is always a ray of light at the end of every dark tunnel.

Seems like the light at the end of the tunnel maybe you.

Hope is the light at the end of the tunnel guiding the way.

Closure is just as delusive, it is the false hope that we can deaden our living grief.
