hope, spent in silence— 
reclaiming expectations
quiet place untouched

[THOUGHTS of PROSE]

Disappointment doesn’t just sting; it bankrupts the soul.
It’s what’s left when you’ve wagered everything on hope, spent your last emotional coin on a dream, and come up empty.

You gave your heart to the light, trusted the promise, believed in the maybe… and now, all that remains is a cold silence and the echo of what could’ve been.

Expectations are costly. Each one leaves a mark. And when enough of them collapse, they don’t just bruise you; they hollow you.

Sometimes, I want to vanish.
Not forever, just far enough.
To some quiet place untouched by people and their promises.
A place where I can finally breathe.

Where I can gather the scattered pieces of my hope. And reclaim what expectations almost stole from me: Myself !

[INSPIRATION]

"Disappointment is a sort of bankruptcy - the bankruptcy of a soul that expends too much in hope and expectation."

  Eric Hoffer
