Have you ever been afraid to hope? -Turn It Up Tuesday

My character Johnny thinks he is tough but underneath it all, he's afraid. Terrified of hoping and having those hopes dashed. Johnny clings to hopelessness instead. Which is why Winter Storm by Joshua James explains my character's mindset so perfectly.

Pain, don't go
You remind me of a winter storm
Faith, don't grow

Enjoy the song! (Maybe enjoy is a poor word choice; the song is pretty sad)
