Fewer CEOs 😌

I need to believe that a better world is possible because if it isn't then what's the fucking point of it all?

By having hope, human mind can come up with better and better reasons to be hopeful about. It's self-fulfilling prophecy.

Almost exactly a year ago I have lost all hope. I was a husk of human being, Rotting away in my mothers attic. If not for freezing temperatures I would be homeless. I didn't have any money for food.

By slowly changing my social media to be more hopeful and less depressing. (Without toxic positivity that denies all the bad things that are) My thought patters started chnging. By working on my emotional health I started appreciating small things in life. I have begun to have small infrequent moments: "This is what I live for." Things like that sterted boostingveach other and I improved my life by a mile.

It took me years of hard work to be here, with eyes full of hope and a possibility of bright future ahead.

Hope is an absurd thing. The belief that things will work out is neccesery to begin action and give your 100%. The belief that there is significant chance of failure will lead to failure; because why extend the effort if it all will be in vain.

I don't think things are going to get better... in a vacuum. I want things to get better, and I want to work towards making things better... but, as you say, it's hard to imagine that when so many people just give in to hopelessness and despair.

Hope is not a cure-all, it won't fix things all by itself... but it gives us reason to not to give up. You don't have to expect things to magically get better... but you can still work towards that goal, because otherwise it's pretty much guaranteed to turn out for the worst. And who really wants that?

Lost souls that need help, not enemies
