Always hope, but never expect...

Always hope, but never expect...

Nope. Just like expectation, Hope raises you high; it sets you up for disappointment and let's you fall. I guess being numb is better after all.

But generally, hope is the last thing everybody lose. Once you lose it, there is nothing more to lose.

That's true. Since Hope is a stubborn son of a bitch. It usually sticks to you, it claws, rips through your insides just to get by. It refuses to leave and it usually doesn't lighten the load of burden you feel. It only brings falsehood out of this harsh ****ed up reality. Something to smile on. But when that hope's shattered. You'll only be broken and wandering in the dark by yourself alone.
