Hope Against Hopelessness

Write a letter from your hopeful self, addressing your hopeless self, and advising on how to rebalance.

There often exists a duality within us; of hope and despair, strength and weakness, joy and sorrow. This prompt asks you to personify these two aspects and address the part of you swallowed by depression from the perspective of the optimistic and hopeful part of you. What advice would you give? What perspectives can you share to deal with this phase of hopelessness?
