13 statements tell what makes these people feel hopeful — 5 words at a time.

<br>

We've had a rough couple of news days lately, but people are still finding reasons to have hope.

Today, in addition to the anger, fear, frustration, and indignation being expressed across the internet in response to the two shootings of black men (Philando Castile and Alton Sterling) by police officers this week, a hashtag with a different sentiment took off. 

It was a sentiment many people needed to cope in a moment like this: #GiveMeHopeIn5Words.

Here's 13 of the most simple and profound ways to #FindHopeIn5Words:

A lot of times when we don't know what to do or how to feel, we turn to social media to make sense of the world around us.

It may not solve the world's problems, but, in cases like #GiveMeHopeIn5Words, it's a reminder that sometimes five words are all it takes to make a difference.
