The Col: Children do have all the answers. I know this because I was once a children myself. You wouldn't know it looking at me now (Don't look at me!) but it's true.

Adulthood had more heachaches waiting for me than I had ever guessed. It never occurred to me that anything I did would ever come back to haunt me, until it started coming back to haunt me. The guy who wrote Amazing Grace had more coming back to haunt him than I ever did, but he turned out okay. So maybe I'll be okay too... that's the sort of thing I will invest my hope in. I won't "hope" because of some cheesy political campaign slogan, because that kind of emotional pandering is about as empty as it gets.
