Hey guys! Haven't posted in awhile but here I am, I'm finally back.
I've come to realise through talking to others and opening up to people around me that - get this - everybody has problems.
I always thought that this was a fact that I was well aware of, but as it turns out, I'm not.
Recently has been a spiritually dry season for me. I've felt very sad a lot (not a bad thing, because come on, how would we understand real joy if we had never experienced real sorrow?), I haven't felt like there's anyone I can turn to in times of trouble, and my past keeps coming back to haunt me.
I thought I had it bad. I thought this was the worst thing that could happen, and I didn't know why I was feeling this way, etc etc etc.
Then it struck me (just now, actually, while on the phone with a friend from church) - everybody goes through these things. And it takes a lot of humility to be able to come down from your high horse and recognise that everyone feels sad sometimes, everybody messes up sometimes, everybody has friendship problems, and everybody, at some point or another, feels lonely and lost. Nobody deserves to feel that way. But everybody does.
And while my (and maybe yours too) situation felt like the worst thing ever, felt like nobody else could possibly understand, it's completely untrue. I was just letting my pride inflate the issue bigger than it really is/was.
It takes a lot to truly accept that other people do have it worse than you, that other people do know what you're going through. But once I accepted that fact, it became a lot easier to deal with whatever it was I had to deal with. You feel me? Yeah.
God bless(:
Love,
Gabbi
