I am hopeful because I know I can embrace change. Change is not a bad thing. To change oneself is to have hope in a better life and a bright future full of potential and growth. The dandelion represents the ability to press on in hard times. I can transform and renew myself like the dandelion goes from a yellow flower to a delicate puffball and wispy seeds. This inspires me to have a hope for brighter days and embrace new beginnings, trust in my ability to move forward with each push of the breeze spreading goodness as I go.
