There are those little moments in life. When you fool yourself. When, even as self-aware as you may be, you don't even realize something is happening until someone points it out to you. Even if that moment is fleeting, hang onto it. Because hope, in any situation, is the gift that truly keeps on giving. As fucking cheeseballesque as that sounds.
You find yourself lost in thoughts of "Man, that actually could happen". You hear a cute love song in a commercial and google the shit out of it. You clean up your house. You do a few sit ups and push ups. You notice things about your face. Like your brows are smoothed out and relaxed, that you don't have to use as much blush because color is coming back. You stand up a little straighter, you smile for no reason, you laugh a little easier....
Hang on to the feeling of those moments. I read in a scientific study that even the anticipation of laughter will relieve stress and sadness. So maybe the anticipation of.... anticipation can do the same? I don't know. I'm not a frickin scientist. I'm just a girl witnessing a little pink back in her chubby cheeks.
