I hope

I hope that the reason I have met so many ‘wrongs’ is that when I finally meet a ‘right’, I will be grateful.
I hope that when an opportunity closes its door in my face, I will be aware of another door opening, and with any luck I’ll be sharp enough not to keep gazing at the closed door.
I hope that I get pleasure from such closeness to a person that spending a day with them devoid of any dialogue will still make me feel like I have the greatest chats ever with them.
I am superficial, but I hope one day I will not go for looks, because looks can be misleading. I am materialistic, but I hope one day I will not go for wealth, because money doesn’t last. I hope that I will be able to find a person who makes me smile until I beam. (I REALLY hope that I can find a person who can make me smile who is ALSO handsome and rich hehehe).
I hope that I will be able to visit all the places I want to visit, do all the things I want to do, and become whoever the hell I want to be, because this is my life, and my chance.
I hope that I am not so self-aggrandizing that one day I will forget to put myself in someone else’s shoes, and hurt a person without knowing.
I hope that I am always cheerful and in high spirits by making the most out of everything and not always thinking that grass is greener on the other side.
I hope that this appetite to learn always stays with me, and the more I discover, the hungrier I get.
I hope that that people recognize that I am, right now, who I am, and not who I used to be. I hope that I can look to my future not based on a forgotten past, but on a past that I can learn from, and then let go.
I hope that, since at the dawn of my life I was brought into this world crying, and all around me were in good spirits, that one day, when I breathe my last breath, I will be in good spirits, and all around me will be crying.
I hope that I am not always in such a rush in this hurried world that I miss just “existing”, and taking in a lungful of air, that I miss the sound of raindrops, that I stop watching sunrises, that I miss out on the world.
I hope that when I have children I shall not ever let them down by saying: “We’ll do it tomorrow,” and be so occupied with other things that I will miss the disappointed look on their face.
I hope that I forever remember to hold close the person I love when I am happy, so that they can know how happy I am to be with them, or so I can show how much I yearned for them when they were gone, or so I can make a going away easier.

Quote of the day: The Grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.
