Daily Prompt – Word Of The Day: Hope

Hope is a strong thing. It’s something people hold dear. Without hope many struggle to keep going. Anticipating that things will happen in a certain way is universal. Hope can give us strength or disappointment depending on the situation. Hope for the best results but prepare for the worst. Either way hope drives us and keeps us going. My friends hope for a better today and tomorrow.

Crying

For the first time in a very long time I had a significant cry. I am on anti depressants and it has done a great job of levelling me off emotionally but last night I just had to let some stuff out. It felt good in a strange way.

It’s 2 Something In The Morning

Well I’m up and I’m just waiting. Biding my time.

Something About Desire

Universally we desire love, peace, companionship and comfort. Specifically and individually we have needful things like romance, faith, spiritual awakening and sex. It’s good for humanity for justice and reconciliation. How we realize those desires is a deeply personal thing.

Everyone wants to be heard and we fear these things we want not being realized in our lives. Desire is something we communicate through our words, looks and language. People need things that make life worth living. We feel desire in our bones and in our souls. Let our desire come from a place of goodness and never evil.
