Surviving. Is it futile to dream, to wish for more than just survival? I am forever adjusting my expectations to what might be possible at all. Lower, lower, lower. If I hope for, and expect nothing, would I be less depressed? the danger is that I would be more stuck, instead. I don't want to stop dreaming, or hoping. I just don't. So, I say to everyone, that I hope this next year is a better one for you!
