'Hope is the only bee that makes honey without flowers'

Earlier this week, I saw this beautiful quote on twitter and knew I had to blog about it. As a lover of all things bee related, and as someone at least attempting to keep a positive mentality, it seemed a perfect motivational quote for Blushing Sunday. In the last few months, I have felt pretty bereft of any sense of hope. My future after graduation suddenly seemed very foggy indeed, and my day-to-day existence began to feel very monotonous and bland; with no real purpose. So, in order to combat this, I decided to focus on the little things. From this I discovered that hope doesn't always come in the form of a long, arduous and detailed life-plan... sometimes it's the little things like baking a particularly good batch of biscuits, getting a 2:1 in an assignment or even just going for a drink with an old friend, or even a new friend. These little things were just making me so much more positive, and making me enjoy existing so much more. Slowly I began to realise that with hope comes so many other things: excitement, enthusiasm, happiness, creativity... the list keeps going. I'm afraid that this post is a bit of a ramble, but I have realised that with a dash of hope, the future can seem so much brighter.
