Hope, to me, is having faith, believing in oneself, or someone else. It's having courage, being positive, and open-minded. It's about having faith that one will overcome something good, or something bad in one's life.
Hope was necessary for me for an event that happened about a couple of years ago. My boyfriend, that I was dating at the time, committed suicide. I thought that my life was going to come to an end, and I felt so empty inside. Not physically, but mentally. I was so mentally distraught. This memory took me down to the deepest, darkest hole, and I never thought I would be able to climb out. Light at the end of the tunnel seemed unthinkable. But I couldn't let this selfish act take over my life. I had to find hope within myself to move past this, and continue to make the best out of my life. Not going to lie, this event was like standing at the base of a mountain, looking to the very top, wondering if I should climb it or not. Over time, I found hope, and that mountain was mine. I have and will continue to climb the mountain, until I reach the absolute peak, to the point where there is no more climbing to do, and I can finally say, I overcame this traumatic event, and did it because I found hope.
