Desperation

Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.  - Henry David Thoreau

To despair is to give up on hope. I, admittedly, have been guilty of the crippling feelings of desperation in my life.  Desperate that I would never find love; work that would fulfill [...]
