Welcome to the Bleak Hopes Website, where even the most hopeless of souls can find... well, not exactly hope, but maybe a faint glimmer of purpose.
You're probably here because you're wondering, "What's the point of it all?" or "Is this all there is?" or "Is this just an infinite abyss of despair?"
Don't worry, we've been there too. We've stared into the void, and stared some more. And you know what? The void stared back.
But fear not! For in our vast, desolate expanse of despair, we've managed to scrounge up a few... let's call them "insights."

Or, if you're feeling particularly hopeless, visit our Philosophical Faux-Hope page for a healthy dose of pseudo-optimism.
1. Take a long walk in a crowded shopping mall. Stare at people's faces. Try to guess their life stories.
2. Write a short story about a character who's even more miserable than you are.
3. Practice the ancient art of Extreme Irony. Wear a "World's Okayest Person" t-shirt and walk around with a fake mustache.
1. Repeat the mantra "It's all just a simulation" until you believe it.
2. Imagine the universe is just a vast, interconnected web of cat videos.
3. Convince yourself that "meaning" is just a fancy word for "Wi-Fi signal strength."
