Questions

Are hope stories less honest than sad ones?

No. Hope written honestly is harder than despair, because it has to survive everything you know. The stories here are not inspirational posters; they are accounts of what actually shifted.

Can I write a story about someone who helped me?

Yes. Protect their identity if they would not want to be named, and focus on what they did rather than who they are.
