Absolutely! Turmoil comes in waves, and after each major challenge, we come out a little better than we were.

We've survived worse than this and eventually the world will look back at what was happening now and think, "Sure am glad we aren't like THAT anymore!"

Hope is a valuable thing, and the feeling of having none isn't something I would wish on anyone. Hold onto your hope tightly.

Weird. You saying that made me think.

It doesn't feel like hope. It feels like cold inevitability or statistical probability. Like, some days you hit all green lights, other days they're all red, but at the end of the day, you still did the same shit you do every day.

Everything changes, but somehow it's all the same.
