[...] open just yet. The first time I went out on my balcony I was not in a good space I had written my hope blog and all I could think the whole time I was out there was how much I wanted to have someone else [...]

I also like the Greek story of hope.
It can indeed be dangerous.

Hugs Sal – I understand what you saying. I am a person who tends to ‘hope’ but I do understand that feeling of not wanting to hope cause when disappointed it means you have to fall so much further than had you not hoped for more but simply accepted things as they are.

Iamsonotabloger – thank you, it is often people who you have never met that reach across heart ache and make the world just a little brighter.

Fair enough, I do know what youre saying. I do hope that things begin to seem a little better for you soon though. Life becomes a drudge when the dream isnt possible, believe me i do know. So, through the internet ether I send you sunshine for the dark part of your heart.

Imsonotablogger: That is what I mean though, just living with what I have. Does not mean that I can enjoy them. I just don’t want to hope right now. I sound ungrateful for what I have and that is not the case. I am really okay with my life as it is for now, i just really really don’t need to see the dream right now and know it is not possible.

What about the positives in life right now. At this minute. Not hoping or expecting or wanting or needing or desiring. But just being. In the moment, with the sun shining, (or the rain dropping-not sure what weather you have today) and revelling in the fact that you are alive. That many many things happen on a daily basis that are good. That dont require hope. That just are. Someone once said to me that you should have no expectations of other people, in that way you will not be dissapointed. In a way, its quite true, because if you do not expect anything from a person, there is nothing to be dissapointed in. I have no idea what has happened in your life so there is nothing that I can really say to make it better or (to give you hope..;-)) but try to remember to love yourself during this time. The darkness may feel comfortable but the light is a much better (and less heavier) place to be.

Hope is what we hang on to when we have nothing else…

Thanks Jane, the poems just seem to happen.
It is not something I have ever felt very good at before, but it seems if you add me and emo you get some poetry – who would have guessed LOL
Wenchy: see I get that hope is useful and we need it, sometimes i just think that it hurts us a lot.
Louisa: I would rather at this point just have the dark, it is not so bad, you get used to it and know how to cope. I imagine that one day things might feel different but right now I don’t need hope of dreams that are not happening. I would rather just be shocked if they ever do

Oh god Sally, this morning this rings so true for me. Your poetry is phenomenal. Really emotive and perceptive.
