Obstacles.

     All of our lives have obstacles. They are thrown at us to give us proof of how strong we are when we don't know it. The realization of us conquering what we thought would never be conquered, makes us feel invincible. What is it in our challenges that bring us down? In personal experience, its not what the situation is, its how much one can take. If bad even just keep piling more and more onto you, you tend to give in easily.
     I've learned that when you go through these obstacles, people will ask you whats wrong, and not mean it, and try to comfort you and say "I understand," when they do not have the least bit clue as to how much of an impact this has made on your life. The moral is to pick a friend you fully trust, before you flat out exert your feelings. 

   In hard times, the only friend that is loyal to you, is your self. No, not your family, or your closest friend, you. It may seem a little crazy, but think about it. You can't tell your secrets and betray your self. You can't make weird stares at your self for telling something. Only you can take what has happened and learn from it.

Bottling things up can be unhealthy, Just know that you're not alone when its comes to this, but if you can't handle whats going on, take a pen and paper and write it down.  There's nothing more therapeutic than ink on a piece of paper.
