Life can be hard; some are blessed with good luck and fortunate, others struggle to obtain and/or keep hold of that good luck, and some people alternate between the two. No matter the person, we all experience times where it feels like the universe is against us. Those times may last a day or two, but sometimes it feels like it's been a lifetime. How ever long that time may be, it always comes to an end. Although sometimes it may seem like it, misery and grief are not forever. Life can be hard, but you need to work through the tough times to reach the blissful moments.
I consider myself to be a pretty lucky person, compared to what other people around the world deal with on a daily basis. I have an education, food on the table, a roof over my head, and people who support me. I've had my fair share of troubles- both on a minor scale and a major scale- but that hasn't stopped me from smiling and appreciating all that I have. Granted, I, like many other people, have had times where I was very unhappy, whether it be something in my life or something about myself. But I've always reached the light at the end of the tunnel.
To those reading, I'm sure you can relate in some way; whether you've recently experienced the loss of a loved one, or are going through a time in your life where nothing feels right. I can't guarantee that I can completely comprehend your situation, but I can guarantee that you will get through it. The important thing is to keep your head up. Don't let anguish or negativity take away your hope and happiness. Focus on living today, and prepare yourself for tomorrow. Appreciate the little things that give you brief moments of joy, and don't hesitate to seek the support of others.
I understand some people might not believe that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. It all comes down to what they've experienced and how those experiences have effected their mindset. But the important thing to remember is that things can always get better. One day, you might meet someone who turns your luck around and fully supports you, or you might be presented with an astounding opportunity. I can't tell you when these possibilities may occur, but something's bound to happen eventually. The world around you is constantly changing- seasons change, people change, everything changes eventually. Change can be scary, but good things can come from it.
Don't lose hope in a better future just because the present isn't so great. Life is full of ups and downs, so all you can do is deal with the bad and cherish the good. Sometimes things happen, and that's okay. Life can be hard, but it can be a wonderful thing too.
