Struggles.

Everyone struggles, some people just hide their pain better than others.  Every time you talk to someone on the street, see a person you know at church, or chat with your co-workers, we're all hiding something.  Everyone has an issue, everyone has a bad habit, and everyone is insecure in some way.  Some of these issues are things that you tell your friends, discuss with your partner, or maybe you just prefer to keep it all inside.  It's really up to you, but I can tell you from personal expierience that sometimes it's better to just let it all out.  Now I'm not talking about venting and totally ravaging someone's entire afternoon with your endless problems, but getting a second opinion is definetly more helpful.  And a little venting isn't all that bad.

Some people struggle with rumors, some people struggle with faith, some people struggle with self control, some people's struggles are so deep that they don't know how to tell anyone that they even have a problem.  Be sensetive, even if you don't really know how to help.  Sometimes all these people need to know is that not everyone on this earth is a jerk.  So be the not-jerk that proves it.

Love,
Alice
