About This Quote
Hope is the hardest love we carry. Hope can be a great thing to have in life, but it can also be a cruel thing. The way hope is used by people often makes them feel that they have to be happy all the time. Hope can make you feel that you’re a failure when in reality you’re not.
Hope is a wonderful thing when it helps us get through difficult times. However, hope can also hold us back from doing our best in every area of our lives because we don’t want to disappoint anyone.
