Things that give me hope:

Abused and neglected animals can not only learn to trust again, but become outrageously goofy and loyal companions, just from a little love and compassion.

Abused and neglected humans can and often do this too, and choose to raise their offspring better than they were raised.

Add to the list anything that sparks hope and joy for you, no matter how small.

@RickiTarr we have a rescue dog named "Lucky" we love him tons and he loves us also! he was found wondering the streets in a Californian town.

I am also happy that a good friend of mine is doing much better and almost 1 full year Sober after being a victim of abuse violently
