“Hope follows me wherever I go, but Hope is my biggest obstacle. She keeps me focused on the future, focused on becoming. Despair is holding my hand, he keeps me stuck in the past. Hope and Despair walk hand in hand with me, happily distracting me from what I am, distracting me from reality, inviting me to look anywhere but here and now. Hope acts as my friend, Despair acts as my enemy. Sometimes Despair feels more comforting than Hope, but they are the same character with different clothing. I’m here, I’m now, I am reality and I have the power to turn down any and all invitations into the land of illusion. Hope is just a thought, and so is Despair. I alone is real.” — Nanne Nyander
Hope follows me wherever I go,
but Hope is my biggest obstacle.
She keeps me focused on the future,
focused on becoming.
Despair is holding my hand,
he keeps me stuck in the past.
Hope and Despair walk hand in hand with me,
happily distracting me from what I am,
distracting me from reality,
inviting me to look anywhere but here and now.
Hope acts as my friend,
Despair acts as my enemy.
Sometimes Despair feels more comforting than Hope,
but they are the same character with different clothing.
I’m here, I’m now,
I am reality and I have the power to turn down any
and all invitations into the land of illusion.
Hope is just a thought,
and so is Despair.
I alone is real.
