The word that keeps me going

What’s your favorite word?

If I had to choose just one word that speaks deeply to me, it would be “hope.” It may seem like a simple word, but it carries so much weight and meaning in my life. I first discovered its power during a difficult season, when nothing around me seemed to make sense. Everything felt uncertain, and I struggled to see a way forward. Then one day, I came across the word hope in a book, and it felt like it reached out to me. It was as though the word itself was whispering, “Hold on, tomorrow will be better.”

From that moment, hope became more than just a word—it became a light I carried with me. It taught me that no matter how dark life feels, there is always the possibility of change, growth, and new beginnings. Hope pushes me to keep moving forward even when challenges try to hold me back. It reminds me that storms don’t last forever, and that brighter days will always come.

So, whenever someone asks me what my favorite word is, I smile and say hope. Because for me, it is not just a word—it is a promise that life can always get better.
