    Hope Is Still Here

    I used to be afraid of hope.Not because I didn’t want it… because I did.But because hope made me feel vulnerable.Hope meant believing that good things could happen again.And when your heart has been broken more times than you can count,Hope feels risky.Hope feels dangerous.Hope feels like a setup for more disappointment.
