Hello fellow writers, I nicknamed myself "Hope" in an effort to fuse some positivity in my soul. You see, I've not had much positivity in my life. I am convinced it is out there, however. I am always searching, searching for that platform of life that lifts you from the morass of living & existing day to day which lets you breathe deeply and more freely. Happiness. You get it right? I am now 71 years old and reflect on my adventurous, creative, and often tragic life. Now, I look for honesty and joy and am determined to rest in that before I'm done. I can be a lot of fun too. May writing help me to achieve. Thank you!
