Hopeful

on my way home from school, my girlfriend and i were discussing bout how being hopeful always land us on the worst side of things.
no matter how bad a situation is, there are always alternatives. For me, i always choose to believe that there is still a very slight chance that things will turn out just as fine.
often, such expectations and hopes dash my dreams even more. like the higher the expectation, the harder you fall.
is it wrong to be hopeful? should we be hopeful or hopeles??

despite all the dashed dreams, i choose to be hopeful
