Yes! Hope is best applied when feeling hopeless, and if need be, let it be our last thought. I love this quote, it always lifts my spirits when feeling jaded about it all:

“Hope means hoping when things are hopeless, or it is no virtue at all... As long as matters are really hopeful, hope is mere flattery or platitude; it is only when everything is hopeless that hope begins to be a strength.”
― G.K. Chesterton
