Hope

So while watching tv the other day, a certain quote stood out to me. It was 'We tell ourselves that everything will be alright, not because there's a guarantee it will be, but because we give ourselves hope.' I guess it stuck to me because of how true it was. It will never be certain that everything will be fine the next day, but believing that it could be helps ease our thoughts and not overthink problems and cause more stress. A simple question like 'how are you?' If answered when we are going through tough times, we tend to focus more on what's wrong than what could be changed and fixed. So usually we rant about how everything is going wrong and none of it can be fixed rather than actually dealing with the problem and finding solutions for them.
