Once in a lifetime; that is the amount of time a person ever needs to feel complete and utter despair. To feel uncontrollable fear, hate, danger, sadness, guilt, or grief is a feeling that consumes a person whole until their entire being is swarmed in positive negativity. For most, once you start down this dark path, there is no safe return or saviour that can rescue them from uncertain doom. The cause of such internal misery comes in many terrifying forms, with varied sizes, shapes, and colours. Generally, the twisting, malformed darkness grows and thrives on the pain of others, no matter what your class, station, gender, sex, ethnicity, or race.

Humanity is one, equal, and whole; we as babies are pure, innocent, and so full of hope. Young children know very little of their purpose in life, how the world works, or how to function in the modern era; yet the same thing can be said for teenagers, who are just trying to understand who they are, and adults, who still have no clue. Truth be told, everyone is scared and afraid of the world around them. The average high school girl may be too frightened to look at herself in the mirror, or the young boy from your maths class may be too nervous to speak up about the bullies flicking paper at the back of his head.

Everyone, everywhere, deserves hope. But what is hope? Well, according to the dictionary Hope means:

‘A feeling of expectation and desire for a particular thing to happen.’

No matter who you are, where you are from, or whatever it is that you have done. It is my solemn belief that everyone deserves hope, to have that feeling that things will eventually get better, and that there is truly light after the dark. That is one of the beautiful things about our world, I love watching the sky turn from the brightest blue, to pale pink orange, dark blue, and to finally settle on an inky black canvas sprinkled with starlight. Believe it or not, we are all in the same boat. Everyone on earth is suffering in some way, and everyone can do something to help another. Small acts of kindness can go a long way and can change a person’s life for the better. Be a ray of hope for another, be their lighthouse to guide them through the crazy storm we call life.

Leave the light on for them, and someone may leave the light on for you. If there is one thing they can never take from us, it is our hope.

for another, be their lighthouse to guide them through the crazy storm we call life. Leave the light on for them, and someone may leave the light on for you. If there is one thing they can never take from us, it is our hope.
