hope;

Hope is the feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best
Hope is something that people seem to strive for.  They always use hope to keep them going or keep them from totally shutting down on themselves.  I guess in that sense hope is something that comes from inside us. Somebody else can't have hope for you. Only you can have hope for yourself.  For example you hope for something better to happen.  So you never hope for something bad to happen to yourself. Hope is supposed to be self inspiring. It’s always something positive. That’s what hope means to me.
