Where Did My Hope Go?
I have everything. Whatever money can buy, the success I’ve dreamt of, the grades, the looks. So why do I feel so… unhappy? Incomplete?
Where Did My Hope Go?
I dreamt about leadership roles, taking the difficult classes, getting the grades, all at the cost of losing what really mattered. On a journey that was originally meant for self-discovery, I threw it all away for textbooks and a letter with a little plus or minus. No longer.
Where Did My Hope Go?
I wished for anything but what mattered. My current state of dissatisfaction with both life and myself seemed to pile on me like the late work I had accumulated. The journey for self-discovery is never easy, and mine just seemed to be slightly more difficult. Questioning everything I had ever learned and wondering what was best for me.
Where Did My Hope Go?
I threw away my own happiness for votes and a title. Why should I be unhappy? Even if it seems that you have everything doesn’t mean you can be everything. Crawling out of the year with mental and emotional scratches all over my heart and mind, this year taught me more about myself than I could have imagined. Transitioning to new people who loved me for me, high school seems redeemable. No more being fearful of being myself. No more avoiding others because they hate who I am. No more destroying myself over things I can’t control. Hope finds hiding places in the times you need it most, but some spark will bring it back. I found my hope, and for now, I hold on to it tight like a newborn child. I found where my hope went, I just had to let it come out.
I Found Where My Hope Went.
