Don't Lose Hope Novels & Stories

mag isa nalang ako ngayon, walang karamay na kahit sino. We all experience difficult things. the ones that seem to have the potential to defeat us and win. All difficult situations, whether losing a loved one, failing an exam, or experiencing grief, matter. And in situations like this, we lose hope. There is nothing left that we can cling to. We gradually give up on the chance of things working out differently as we lose faith in the process. We are gradually closing the door while also blocking the light that comes in to illuminate the way.

Napatingin ako sa kanila, kita sa kanilang mga mukha ang kalungkutan at sakit sa pagkawala ni Thaddeus. I closed my eyes, trying to block out the image of Thaddeus lost in the cold and dark ocean. I clung to the hope that somehow, Thaddeus would find his way back to me. I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself despite the overwhelming sadness. “Please,” I whispered, “keep searching. Don’t give up on him. I can’t. I won’t.” As I lay back down, tears finally flowed freely. I felt utterly defeated, yet a small flicker of hope within me kept me going. I needed to believe that Thaddeus would come back, that our dreams and future wouldn’t be taken away so suddenly.

Ayaw ko kasi na umasa siya at higit sa lahat ay mas ayaw ko na umasa. "Tanggapin mo na iyong trabaho dahil minsan lang iyan. Wala naman masama kung susubukan mo kaya huwag mo na palampasin. Remember, opportunity only knocks only once and not twice kaya dapat grab mo na agad. Kung nag-aalangan ka naman dahil hindi ka nakatapos ng college isipin mo na lang na lamang ka naman sa experience. Matalino ka kaya may pitik ka nga lang," paghihikayat niya at natawa ako ng malakas dahil sa huling sinabi niya.

Minsan natatalo rin, chambahan na lang kung sa unang laban panalo ka ka-agad. Sabi nga nila, trust the process kasi may tamang panahon rin para sa lahat ng bagay. THE END...

I trailed off. I heard his deep sigh. “Do not discredit yourself. It is also thanks to your courage and willingness to change, Ian.” I silently accepted what Marcus said... but I really couldn't see any hope if someone didn't help me leave the cold darkness. After the incident, my life was filled with stormy clouds, darkened corners, and regrets. It was as if I'd gotten lost in a labyrinth and couldn't find my way out. I couldn't think of ways out of the maze, so the hope I once had faded.

Natigil ako saglit, dama ang emosyon sa kanyang sagot. "Masaya ako, anak, kasi sa wakas, magiging buo na rin kayo. Kahit maraming pagsubok ang dumating, hindi kayo pinabayaan ng nasa Itaas. Sana, kahit anong problema ang dumating, huwag ninyong kalimutang humingi ng tulong sa Kanya," ngiting sabi ni Mommy Hope habang si mama Faith ay nasa sofa nakangiting nakatingin sa akin.

"K-keith...si Hope. K-keith 'yong anak ko! 'yong anak ko nawawala!" His lips parted and his eyes widened. "W-what?!" "H-hope is missing! We need to find her, please! 'yong anak ko hindi siya pwedeng mawala baka ikamatay ko na talaga, Keith!" "O-okay. Let's go. Fuck!"

"Huwag kayong mawalan ng pag-asa kaya natin 'to!" How can we win, if we can't use our magic?

Pag-asa at lakas ng loob sa gitna ng mga pagsubok sa buhay. Ang Hope naman ay paniniwala na may darating na mabuti sa kabila ng mga pinagdaanang sakit. Lakas ng loob kahit may mga pinagdadaanan. Maging optimismo at liwanag sa kabila ng hirap, may pag-asa at mas magandang bukas na darating. Nawala sa isip ko na may kasama pala ako dito. Bahagya pa akong nagulat sa pagtikhim ng ginang.

Dagdag niya pa. With all of me, I still hope that I will move forward with hope. I hope I will find hope inside every one's heart, because it is there no matter what they may bare. I hope that I still pray with passion to the heaven that exists in my entire being when I feel blinded by confusion. I hope I wioo trust in all of my capabilities, because my capabilities are endless. I hope I will still open my heart wider than golden gates.
