Hope and Skeleton Keys

Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.
- Proverbs 13.12

I have a long history with hope. I just love hoping and I hate being disappointed. That sums up my stance on it. Yet, so does the verse above. (Thanks for sending it to me, Kim.)
Today's been a little rough on me. Emotionally trying. I'm trying to keep my hope steady. I'm just too tired at this point. I don't see the point. I don't want to keep doing the same things that I've been doing. I want to change things up. I just don't want to do it alone.
I feel alone. Maybe I'll write more later. I don't have time right now.

I need a light. A guide. A map. A hug.
