Road to Sunrise

I believe in hope. Not in the traditional meaning of the word. Not in the way most people do. When we refer to hope, we usually tend to imagine the unattainable, the distant, a dream. The type of dream we can always fantasize about, yet never really expect to even remotely attain. My hope is much more than that. It isn't something unattainable. It isn't something distant. Most definitely not a dream. My hope is embedded inside me. The kind of motivator that gives me power to endure the unendurable. It is my light. And you would think, what would a seventeen-year-old girl possibly know about hope. Well, I can in all certainty say that I know it saved me. This is my story. My story of darkness, of light and of hope.
