A man told me recently that he couldn't remember the day he had begun drinking alcohol, but that he'd never forget the day he stopped.
What is hope?
Hope does not prevent
the glass from being shattered.
Hope does not ensure
the pieces fit back together.
Hope is not a mask

Aging will ever increase one's potential for maturity,
but does little (if anything) to ensure it.
