Hope Floats

Someone once said, ~Love comes to those who still hope even though they've been disappointed; to those who still believe even though they've been betrayed; to those who still love even though they've been hurt before.~ If you think about it, hope is something that people sometimes don't necessarily hold on to, especially when it comes to matters of the heart. Essentially, hope and love are synonymous with each other as you can either easily give up on it because of bad past relationship experiences or keep holding on to it knowing true happiness you most definitely deserve will come to fruition. For it's a tough and frustrating situation indeed for those to still have hope when they've experienced constant disappointment, from guys/girls who metaphorically drained not only the hope within their heart, but the love as well.

Let me ask you this question to those who have seemingly faced disappointment time and time again, have you personally given up hope in one day finally experiencing true happiness? You see, it's difficult for any person to keep the bright light of hope in one's own heart from being in all intensive purposes extinguished and avoid having it sinking into the dark despair of anger, bitterness, sadness, confusion, loneliness, etc. Yet, it's those unfortunate past relationships that gradually flickered the light within your heart to the point where it nearly or possibly has gone completely out and has led you to someone special who gives you a new found hope. A new found hope in which it always burns brightly never to sink into the utter darkness where past heartbreaks that left hurtful scars are now healed by the shining warmth of his/her love.

Without a doubt, there are those that are living the single life who hold on to the hope of one day finally experiencing true happiness. They have this unwavering belief that going through the unwanted pain and heartbreak was all worth it as each one of them hopes he/she meets someone who can look him/her in the eyes and make him/her truly believe there is an absolute strong, bright future for the two of you. However, there are those who unfortunately are losing/have lost their grip on the innate hope of someday finding love that is honestly genuine. Thinking about it, there comes a point where a person doubts as to whether or not to keep holding on to the hope of love/true love gradually leading to the notion that it was merely fleeting because it became physically, mentally, and emotionally tiresome causing one to make the painful decision to let go.

For the question can be asked to those who are hopeful instead of hopeless, what has continually kept your hopes high in meeting that certain someone who you will spend the rest of your days with? For some, most, or all people it's their faith in God as they pray to him in order for their prayers of a wonderful life of joy, happiness, and contentment to be fulfilled. As it's been said many times before, it's just a matter of patience and timing as you spiritually read the word of God for guidance when there is inner turmoil going on within your heart. What it primarily comes down to is letting go of the hope you have as trust in yourself to make love/true love happen for you and instead hold on to the hope in what God can do when it comes to the love you are deserving all-the-while completely letting go as you trust in Him that He is guiding you to Ms./Mr. Right or vice versa.

Actor Josh Hartnett said, ~Hope is the most exciting thing in life and if you honestly believe that love is out there, it will come. And even if it doesn't come straight away there is still that chance all through your life that it will.~ In retrospect, the hope of falling in love can get anyone excited and even though it may not be happening for you right now you pray to God in hopes that it will. Personally speaking, as much as I'm a cynic when it concerns love/true love I continue to pray to God that he sends me a very special lady who I will fall excitedly in love with for a lifetime. In the end, if you don't put all your faith in God then the hopes of bright future of love/true love will sink completely out of sight into darkness, but ultimately hope floats for those who set both their heart and eyes on Him giving way to a life full of pure, loving excitement.
