There is this small bubble building in my stomach. Remember when I talked about hope? I gots the hope bubbles. And I'm sure hoping they stay. No poppin' these hope bubbles.

Despite the fact that my day could have been ruined by a few small things....

...I remembered that my day was made by a few small things too.

All the Small Things - Blink 182

Don't hold your head so low that you can't see the sky

Sometimes I forget that there is really no good reason to lose hope in life.

But sometimes I lose it anyway, cause hope is hard. Real hard.

To hope is to open the door to getting hurt. I know so many people that feel that little bubble of goodness isn't worth the risk of getting it burst and scattered everywhere.

I know it hurts to hope sometimes. I know that the little bubble that hope creates that lives inside your chest next to your heart is fragile. I know the more it expands the more it hurts when it pops.

But:

"To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing."

Sometimes it kinda feels like you're up against all odds with hope.

But please...for me...
