What’s a chapter of your life you’d title “The Hard Years” — and what got you through it?
Life is life.
Sometimes it feels like paradise, and other times it feels like hell.
Sometimes it goes easy and smooth, and other times it goes rough and spiky.
And… sometimes it’s full of promises, and other times it’s full of warnings.
Then you start wondering why life changes, why it is unstable, and why it is unpredictable.
But you know why, don’t you?
Because it’s temporary.
And if you’re thinking beyond the Big Bang, you will definitely believe that life is a big test.
So … hard times come and go.
They may last for days, months, or years.
And based on the unsteady nature of life, everyone is expected to have a share of those hard times.
How we handle those hard times depends mostly on who we are.
Some people try not to think back, not to remember the pain, and to forgive the hurt. Others stay in the past, replay the pain, and never forgive the hurt.
By the way, these some and others are not about angels and devils.
It’s more about… abilities and choices.

Now, is there really any need to talk about hard years?
Maybe.
But it’s better to leave them behind.
Just an advice.
