Hope is the bridge

Between despair

And joy

Hope is optimism

Joy is an option

You can choose

To wallow

In pessimistic views

Or

You can choose to be hopeful

To look at the brighter side

To look at the bigger picture

It’s not that bad if you think about it

Joy is an option

Once something happens

It’s over

Done

You can’t redo history

So why don’t you just

Move on?

One thing my grandpa always said

Was

If something bad happens

Or something doesn’t work out

Ask yourself

These questions

Will it matter in a couple of minutes?

Will it matter in a day?

Will it matter in a week?

Will it matter in a month?

Will it matter in a year?

So ask yourself these questions

Put it into perspective

It’s not as bad

As it feels in the moment

Choose hope.

Choose joy.
