About This Quote
Hope is not about proving anything. It's about choosing to believe this one thing, that love is bigger than any grim, bleak shit anyone can throw at us. When I lost my hope, I was crushed. Hopelessness made me feel like I wasn’t worth anything.
It felt like I would always be alone and that no one would ever love me again. The only way to fight back against hopelessness is with hope. Now I know that love always wins in the end!
