Can you think of something or a special person in your life that gives you hope?
Hope is all around me, there are special in my life who live miles away but are the anchors of hope because it's because of them I believe that someday I can go and visit them after so many years. My own sister makes me feel hopeful cuz even during the darkest times she comes to my rescue even tho she is only 11.
What does it feel like for you to be hopeful?
Hope keeps me alive and kicking :) I hope that someday things will get better and I don't have to feel the way I do. I hope I will be happy someday along with the people I love.
@potatoxcrispztrish
You must have a special strong bond to your little sister, it's nice to have a sibling like that watching out for you.
It's good to hear that there is so much hope in your life, never loose it! 
Yes, it really is sepcial. Thank you so much 
@amiablePeace77
@potatoxcrispztrish
Hi.
Am I allowed to be curious? Your little sister is 40 years younger than yourself (since we here are 50+). If you want to you can tell me how.
@Helgafy
Hey, I believe I am a teen listener hence my sister being 5 years younger than me rather than 40.
@Helgafy
Ohhhh I see what you mean. Im sorry, I must have gotten into the wrong community, Im still trying to get used to this whole website itself.
@potatoxcrispztrish Hi I checked into this and teens are welcome to participate here.
@adventurousBranch3786
Oh thank you for letting me know :)
@potatoxcrispztrish
Hi again, just wanted to assure you that it is okay for you as a teen to post here in this forum, just not participating in the chats which are 18 and over. You're very welcome here
@potatoxcrispztrish
Nice to talk to you. I was thinking: She must be your step-sister and that your father had remarried to a woman 20 years younger - ha-ha. Funny is it not?
@Helgafy
haha... no, she is my own sister. Sorry for the confusion Nice to meet you too
Can you think of something or a special person in your life that gives you hope?
Unfortunately the person that I relied on to provide hope has rejected and dismissed me, sometimes online persons provide hope but not consistent or regularily enough. I do find hope in completing tasks, even small ones.
What does it feel like for you to be hopeful?
Hope keeps me alive and dreaming, not sure if this is a good thing or perpetuates the illusion of a life being lived.
@ruffneckred
Sorry that you did not have good experience with others. I am glad that fulfilling smaller tasks gives you hope that one day your dreams might come true, maybe only partly, maybe in a different version but it's good to have something to dream about. 
@amiablePeace77
Thank you, now in hindsight I see and wonder if I asked too much of the relationship. Reality is that I was not emotionally and mentally mature enough to be in a relationship. Why is a good question, but how to move on is a more pressing thing.
@ruffneckred
Sorry that the question how to move on now puts pressure on you. I hope that will faith in the future you will find a find.
Can you think of something or a special person in your life that gives you hope? What does it feel like for you to be hopeful? Yes indeed. My fiance gives me hope that I will get married again. It is a wonderful feeling being with her, anytime at all. She is the best person in my life and I am almost ecstatic about her.
@Offmytrack
It's wonderful to hear about the special bond you share with her!
@amiablePeace77My sister gives me hope that everything might be ok. Physically it feels like effervescence in my neck up through my head. Mentally, it feels like I can lift my mental gaze above the chaos in life to see a beautiful scene of life that is calm.

@purpleTree4652
Nice that your sister can make you feel hopeful purpleTree. I am glad to hear that you can see the good part of life again!
I can't think rightnow about anyone to give me hope, but hope for me is knowing that I am successful and adorable and that everything will go easy and fine.
@DinaElwy
It's awesome that you can find hope inside of you! You're amazing!
im here
@sincere5772
Hi sincere5772, welcome to 7cups and the 50+ subcom I hope to see you more on the forums and possibly in discussions if that appeals to you.
@amiablePeace77 when I offer support to someone it comes back to me as a good feeling inside.
@soulsings
That's nice soul!

An imaginary labrador dog called Norman...To be hopeful is what I read written in graphitti throught town while I had my last surgery and radio therapy: "don't worry, eerything will be allright!"...
@GreeenGlowingButterflee
I hope you will never loose that faith. Faith is like a channel through which healing may flow. Sending you strong healing vibes
My hope comes from a younger generation that care about others more or equally important to themselves.
@Lauren63
Hi Lauren, good to see you again . Nice that you see the goodness in the younger generation and find hope in it.
