I know at our lowest point we can't seem to find an inkling of hope. We all have that moment when we're like "Fuck this shit!" And you know what, we're entitled to that feeling. Every thing isn't always black and white and smelling of roses but you know something, we aren't going through the storm alone.
I work in customer service and in that field I encounter so many people and so many spirits. I also work with and around children in which I get to experience how these people influence other impressionable souls and the outcome of that. This is what I've learned from these experinces; that one lady you see everyday who snarls at you and never says hi might be the lady who doesn't have any food to eat. Or the attitude that one guy gives you everytime you see him might have so much on his plate after his wife died, he lost his job and his son is misbehaving daily in school. Or the little boy who curses you out all the time might be getting ridiculed because he's struggling with his work due to the fact that he's the man of the house while his mom works a third shift job and he takes care of his 4 younger siblings.
Our rainfall may be different; mine is scattered, yours is pouring and the next person's is drizzling but we're all in the storm of life together. We're all trying to figure it out. I'm a firm believer of the saying that if God brings you to it he'll bring you through it. Our problem is really that we are so self absorbed we can't move past the fact that we are here to help each other. If you can focus long enough on helping the next guy with his issue you may learn something from his struggle to help you with yours.
Someone is walking this earth feeling just like you. Someone can relate and you may need them as badly as they may need you. We are so blessed to have the freedom to express oursleves, why not reassure one another that life is better when youre walking together.
