Ya'll life can suck.

People call me a happy person; my personality is bubbly I guess.

But don't be fooled cause I know all too well that life can just suck sometimes.

I feel like the people who smile the most are often the ones who also cry the most when no ones looking....

I'm going through a struggle... One that has been ripping out my heart for a while now... But I've spent too much time thinking "if only this didn't happen" and also "I wish I could be someone else, anyone else right now."

It's ok to hurt. I mean, it stinks beyond belief but you're allowed to suffer and you don't have to pretend everything's peachy but what I'm trying to get at is.... embrace the suffering. It's a part of life and as frustrating as that fact is, God's working on you.

If you embrace the cross He's sent your way, when you come out on the other side God will briefly turn you around to see the masterpiece He's created using the ashes of suffering. God will bring beauty and a fuller life out of the pain. He will not let you suffer in vain.

So, yes, suffering is awful. But embrace it when God sends it your way. Unite your cross to His and watch Him make beauty from the ashes.
