Hope is a belief in a positive outcome related to events and circumstances in one's life. Hope implies a certain amount of despair, wanting, wishing, suffering or perseverance — i.e., believing that a better or positive outcome is possible even when there is some evidence to the contrary of an idea that one has not been proven formally and cannot prove formally. In short, it is belief in the absence of evidence. Formal usage of the word "faith" is largely reserved for concepts of religion, where it almost universally refers to a trusting belief in a transcendent reality (therefore spirituality and spiritual immortality), or else in a Supreme Being and their role as a guide for people moving into an experience of such reality. Informal usage of the word "faith" can be quite broad, and may be used standardly in place of either as "trust," "belief," or "hope". For example, the word "faith" can refer to a religion itself or to religion in general. As with "trust," faith involves a concept of future events or outcomes.
For the first time in my life, I truly, honestly had faith in something, the idea of love, the idea of being capable of caring so much for someone else that you couldn't imagine your life without them and are so grateful for each and every day you know them and talk to them, the days they're around just make you feel alive and amazing, and you can really see yourself having a future with said person and wanting to do whatever you can to make sure that person is happy and loved and safe.But I don't feel that way anymore, I believe I've lost faith in everything, not just love, but if you feel strongest about something and you lose faith in it, because all hope of this sort of relationship has been taken away, what's left to have faith in? I honestly had more faith in this than I have had in anything in my life, I've been a devout Catholic my entire life, and yet I had more faith in the idea of this person being my soulmate than I have had in the existance of God or Jesus or any other higher power. I guess without having hope in things will work out, there isn't a point in having faith or believing in anything anymore, without hope a man has nothing in life, there isn't anything left to wish for, to dream for, to strive for, so I am writing this as a warning to all of you out there who still have dreams and goals, to never EVER give up hope or to let someone take your hope away.
