[day 48-49: badthings & goodpeople]

why do bad things happen to good people?
seriously.
it is such a hard thing for me to understand.
i heard the news from a best friend that one of
her really good friends has been in an accident
that is keeping him from going on a mission.
my heart and my prayers go out to both of them...

i just cannot believe what people have gone through,
or what they continue to endure.

it seems like the cream of the crop
are the ones who have it pretty rough.
and, you know, their trials aren't always
visible
to everyone else.

most of them are invisible.
maybe it's because that person is really
good at putting on a face that shows
the world they're ok...
oor maybe their issue is something
that no one can fix but themselves.

those who appear to be perfect are
usually dealing with [a lot] of personal stuff.
let's be honest, we all know someone
who appears to be completely flawless.
they're always happy,
and smart,
and gorgeous,
and driven and talented
and successful and witty and nice
and approachable and realistic and stylistic and organized.

right?

truth is...we have no idea what anyone is [truly] going through
but ourselves.

and, as cliche as it is...we need to recognize that everyone
is fighting their own battles,
and we need to be willing to help others along the way.

my post today is a shout out to all of those who are going
through anything hard...
oor have recently received tough news,
oor are fighting tough battles.

you can do it.
people love you.


over and out.
