Hope

Location

Hope is feeling left out because your two best friends have significant others. Hope is someone you’ve known for three years telling you their love story. Hope is trying not to cry in front of that person because that story felt like a knife to the heart. Hope is laying on your basement floor sobbing. Hope is breathing in and breathing out in the midst of feeling like your heart is being ripped out by someone’s bare hand with no anesthetic. Hope is somehow finding the strength to drag yourself off the floor and keep going.
