Life is hard. Sometimes there are things that just don't work out, and people that don't like to spend time with you no matter how hard you try to be their friend.
It's hard not being perfect and even harder admitting to yourself when you've really screwed up. It's hard to pick yourself up off the ground and not let trials run you into the ground.
It's hard to let go of the past and try to move on. It's hard to realize that nobody else really can understand what you are going through and that sometimes, they are just going to hurt you because they don't understand how much something is affecting you.
It's hard to deal with feelings of inadequacy, of not being included, or of just plain being down. It's hard to pretend nothing is bothering you so as not to bother anyone.
Thank goodness for that one good friend that will take the time to listen, empathize, and hug you when you are having a terrible day, and that says exactly what you needed to hear to help you start turning some things around in your life for the better. For that friend that understands you can't always be happy, and that sometimes you need support to keep you from falling down.
Thank goodness for a loving Heavenly Father that always knows exactly what I need to hear when I go to Him.
Thank goodness for the knowledge that no trial or disappointment can last forever, and that somewhere down the line happiness is inevitable.
