Hope is quite strange indeed. Often it is like that nagging piece of dirt that keeps sticking around, no matter how hard you try to clean it. What is more remarkable is the perennial affair hope has, with heartbreak. Isn't it astounding to see how much they complement each other, much like two lovers, never meant to be together? It is like falling in love with someone impossible to have, over and over again, only to be heartbroken and reassuring the impossibility of the love!
Falling apart and putting up back together is perhaps what is called the cycle of life. Hope can come from so many things the everyday life has to offer, from a smile from a stranger to the smell of rain waiting to drench us with a longing for what could have been but never was, putting ourselves back together is only a momentary stop, before destiny, or the illusion of which, tears us apart, once again!

As we come across myriads of souls in our journey, invariably losing ourselves in the labyrinth of emotions, soon we would realize that there are only two constants. The first is heartbreak, that tears us apart, and second is hope, which puts us back together. They continue to outplay each other, love and hate one another, as the story goes on.
