Blind Hope is Magic

“Blind Faith is Magic — Haiku”

Blind hope is magic

I won’t be stuck forever

Deep breath, persevere

Blind hope is my best weapon in surviving trauma and the depression episodes. During depression, I’m unable to envision experiencing joy once more. The blind faith takes away my fear of never escaping that black hole. If I am patient with myself, this trick works every time.
