Call me negative but I don't see this ending as a hopeful one at all...
She's still more or less still in the same situation after all. And though she ended the last page with a somewhat positive mindset that very mindset can go away just like that after another minor set-back.
Cause it isn't

No humans can swing their personality so easily. Even if they can, scars will remain. I can see how Sumi isn't like in a better position then the beginning of the story itself.

Heck it doesn't even talk about 'Hope' or anything, it's simply that 'something happened' and she is 'happy' for that something.

Maybe she will go into despair, or she will have hopeful life, it doesn't matter, they are all 'ifs'.

She considered both the fact that she may now lead a happy life, or have hurdles, but still, she is happy for anything that happened in her life, and it's not stagnant as she thought.

This is an open ending, you can theorize whatever may happen to her after the ending.

Personally, I liked the ending as it wasn't some over the roof ending as if she changed and goes out with her friends or become cheerful, it's just her progress in life being the same, which makes the ending 'realistic'.

I was worried its going to be a gloom ending, but I'm glad it at least ends on an optimistic note. Overall pretty insightful and introspective read.

At first I was like 'Every day we wake up...' but after reading to the end, I can confidently say,

The way this series is written feels like a vent manga edited out into a marketable series. It's really good, but I can feel that the author themself havent found a way for the protag to properly deal with her feelings

I can definitely see where you’re coming from
Unfortunately I think the series likely did not sell enough for the manga artist to make it any longer. It’s just an assumption though and I could be completely wrong but I wish the story was longer and had more time to flesh things out but still glad I read it

I was really hoping the series would be longer and had more time to build everything up. Regardless some of the chapters had a really deep connection with me and I appreciate the series
