Hope
Hope is a really weird thing these days. Not only being what everyone thinks of it, it has currently changed in meaning. Hope means continuing pain to make things better for everyone. Hope means that change is coming, or in some cases already here.
I have hope again. I have hope because Melanie has expressed that she is willing to try to work on our relationship. Truthfully, I don't even know what that means to her but I am hopeful that we will find a way to stay together.
Perceptions seem key to hope today. How 2 people can look at a relationship, conversation, or just about anything and come away with completely different outlooks on what happened is amazing to me. Today I hope that our perceptions are aligned enough so that we can see where the other person is coming from, that we mean the same things when we try, that we can look past the faults and hope for a better tomorrow. Similarly, hope runs to the people we keep around us, that they will help us try to find the good in each other, make things less adversarial, hope for us not against us.
I can do anything today.
