People say life is hard. Sometimes, yes, it can be. The severity of the challenges, the hurt, the isolation and loss all make life hard at times. And some days, it may seem that we won't get past the rough parts.
It's like when you have to take medicine. To get to the "good" effect of the medicine addressing your pain, illness or ailment, one often has to endure certain side effects: dry mouth, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, insomnia...a seemingly endless list of adverse effects that one must endure to be able to feel some possible benefit.
I think the same of life. After various trials, adversity, anger, fear, distrust, bitterness and angst...only after getting past those side effects can one hope to experience some good that makes all the pain worth the journey.
We're all struggling with something.
If you see me and I'm not smiling quite the same, know this:
I'm just trying to get past the side effects.
