How to use "Hopeful" in context?
When I was younger, I used to think that hope was something that made me happy. In particular, I thought that when I was hopeful about something, it meant that it was going to happen and that I was going to be okay. It was this misplaced belief in hope that led me to a great deal of pain in my teenage years.
Now that I am older, I know that hope is something that can make me stronger. When I am hopeful about the future, it allows me to see the potential for happiness even when things seem bleak.
I hope that in reading this, you have come to see hope in a new light.
