Hope

So I am learning more and more that getting your hopes up for anything is dangerous, not only is it dangerous but it is devastating in a way. My parents have this thing they do which makes getting your hopes up dangerous. They tell us one thing change there minds and when I get mad and yell the best part of it is my parents make me feel like I am the bad guy. I just don’t understand why people think it is okay to say one thing and do the other. According to the Merriam Webster dictionary hope is defined as the following… to cherish a desire with anticipation… to desire with expectation of obtainment… to expect with confidence. I think the best definition is “to expect with confidence” when someone tell you they are getting you something or that we are going to go somewhere as a family, you are confident that it is going to happen but that confidence is not always shared. I guess the best thing to do is to hope against hope which is to hope without any basis for expecting fulfillment.
