i hope this makes you think

i could make a list to the moon and back of things i've hoped for in my life.

i hope we eat soon, i'm so hungry. i hope i did good on that math test, i probably should have studied. i hope i didn't miss jersey shore, what time does it come on again?

a few things that i'm sure go through the mind of every american teenager at some point in their life.

but how often do we say things like;

i hope we eat tomorrow, there wasn't much today. i hope mom doesn't die, i don't think i can take care of my siblings on my own. i hope we had enough money to pay for heat this week, my toes are so cold they're turning purple.

hope is wishing and believing that something better will come along.

i think americans have a distorted vision of hope sometimes.
