i hope that

you consider

that on this road

that makes up

life, that you

just might

find hope,

and inspiration

and purpose

and that you

might even

experience

fulfilment

in the end.

 

these things

are possible

and everything

like this that

you have ever

longed for

can exist.

 

and today may

be thick with

darkness

but that

does not

negate the

reality

that there

is light.

 

–there is always, always hope.
