Day 23: When Hope Feels Distant

“Hope doesn’t always shout. Sometimes it’s the quiet decision to keep breathing.” — Walk the Hidden Path

Teaching

There are days when the light feels unreachable. When even the idea of things getting better feels insulting. When hope sounds like a language you used to speak — but can’t quite remember anymore.

And yet.

You are still here. Reading this. Breathing. Continuing.

Hope isn’t always bright or loud or full of conviction. Sometimes it’s just the act of staying. Of opening your eyes. Of trying again — even with doubt in your chest.

Let’s stop making hope a performance. Let it be what it truly is: fragile, flickering, and unbelievably strong.

Hope doesn’t mean pretending. It means holding space for the idea — even the smallest idea — that this moment is not the whole story.

And if all you can do today is whisper, *“Maybe”* — then that’s hope, too.
