Hope doesn't exist. When you believed with all your heart, hope vanish. Holding on isn't worth it. When you try you only get hurt. Letting go is easier. The only option to move on as letting go is suppose to be simple. Will you hope, hold on or let go!

Hi Saphrina I am always hopeful. I will always hold on. I dont let go easily because of the two above. I will let go only when I am sure that things will not go as I want them to go. This is why my life isnt easy many a times but I cannot help it. I am so attached with many and I am sentimental. Good I have a small brain and a big heart which help me forget the bad and ugly sooner but still have them retain a place in my heart And if you did not appear today at MyLot, I was ready with a discussion on you without your permission

I am with your hopes... I am 100% certain that something has been really wrong with our dear Saphrina and there is nothing I can do to cheer her up and get her back to what she was a year back.

My guy is my hope. Without him I am hopeless. Believe me hope does exist. I didn't believe it until I met my guy. There is hope for you. It just maybe hard to find.

Hope does exist for those who hope. When hope is gone there is none. Holding on is only worth it for those who can see a reason to hope. Letting go isn't letting lose of hope but knowing it is time to do so. I will hope and let go when I feel it is time to. All things in good time.

I tend to think 'let go'. In the past people who I have tried to hold on to think that they can do anything and get away with it- one in particular. When I did let go the surprise was complete. She then tried to make my life difficult as a result of that too!

Thanks for the kind wishes. Not very well, and very tired. Oh yes, and even more paranoid, but then that goes with working for a rubbish company.....

life is always full of hope , with hope you grow and you learn. time to time we all have to let go some of our hopes so that we can move on, but believe me it comes back sooner or later. the best thing is hope for the best and wish with bottom of your heart that it will fulfill. Time is also a best solution we lose faith when we are impatient give it sometime I hope that what ever you hope come true.

hello sweetheart, When there's no more hope, I guess it's better to let go. I have been through hard times , holding on with hopes- but still ended on letting go, which I never regretted after. Some things are worth holding on and other things shall not be wasted another minute to hold on.

I know and understand hoping something in vain... still deep down that hope is not gone. It's there lurking somewhere to pop up at times when we really start to forgo... argh I prefer to move on and that what I did anyway to the point that I forgot many things I did in the past...

Hi Saphy Dear! Why do you still have your depressed angel avatar? I hope you're fine, sweety. As to your question, it comes in stages for me. And the first one is that I hold on. I won't let go that easily, I will try hard to fight for it and give it all. And, of course to hope. Hope that things are okay. And fortunately for me, things do work out in the end. The last thing I would do is let go, but only if, ONLY IF, there is no way to save it anymore (I am speaking here of a relationship with a person). And, if I do realize that the best thing is to let go, I will let go. (This may sound cheesy, but I still believe it - Let it go... If it comes back, it's yours... If not, it was never meant to be.) I hope I see your drinking angel one of these days. Or any happy angel for that matter. Hope things are okay with you. *Hugs*

Hi sweetie. I tried to hold on, trust, believe and hope. To no avail, i'm afraid. Get the vodka.

I'd rather let go than hope for something that is unsure to happen or hold on to something that could only make me more apprehensive. There are a lot more better things to do in life and a lot of people that we can spend our time with that just wait in a corner and wait for things to happen. To let go of something is freeing yourself from emotional turmoil and having a stress-free life. Why waste time on things when there are better ones just waiting to be recognized/acknowledged?

Yes, I hope but don't stake my whole self on that.. Whether it materializes or not, it is circumstantial.. But I agree, letting it go is easier.. Ohh.. your profile pic depicts a fear in your mind.. Let it go off too. It is unfounded, I am sure..

First, I will LET GO, for my life is not mine but God's. Second, I will HOPE, because even I am not worthy of any goodness, God is gracious to me. Lastly, I will HOLD ON, because I trust that whatever happens, God will never leave me alone.

Hope and faith are the two key factors for me survioring what Ive been through... Holding on is cool but if there is nothing there to grab your going to fall.. God is always there even if it feels like he isnt... Let go yes in some cases you have to do that.. but hope would defenity be my answer!!

I've also realized the value of letting go. But unfortunately in my case, no matter how many times I've tried to let go, I just cant. Often times when I decide to finally let go, I discovered that I am still tied. I hope you're on your way.

When there is no hope anymore, letting go may be easier, but then again we are letting go to find a new hope. I believe in letting go, when I was struggling with a life path. I decided to let go, stop trying to force an outcome. When you let the idea that can't seem to come true for you, then actually you may find the better thing happen when you let it go. So sometimes letting go thing that we believe can't happen can make thing which will happen in the future to be better.
