A thousand splendid suns.

In the grand scheme of things, we’ve absolutely no excuse to not be hopeful. Then again hope can be a little bit of a hopscotch. In life we lose hope then we gain. We gain and then we lose.

A thousand splendid suns by Khaled Hosseini, is a book that coloured my childhood summers with hope. I’d cry the book into paper pulp every single time because it’s one helluva ride reading it. But. It does something with your brain and those who’ve read it will know exactly what I’m talking about.

It will remind you that we’ve all a solid square 1 on the ‘hope hopscotch’ to begin with. That we’ve all seen a thousand splendid suns* and that in itself is magnificent!
That that’s one of a thousand splendid reasons to stay hopeful.

*I think i’d be okay to assume that you’re living on Earth and more than a 2.75 years old if you’re able to comprehend this.
