Again with this Solnit essay:
❝[P]eople assume you can’t be hopeful and heartbroken at the same time, and of course you can. In times when everything is fine hope is unnecessary. Hope is not happiness or confidence or inner peace; it’s a commitment to search for possibilities.❞
❝I respect despair as an emotion, but not as an analysis.…Feelings deserve full respect as feelings, but all they inform you about is you.❞
