Life is a precious gift and can be way to short. I have no idea what may happen tomorrow or in the next hour if that. I know from experiences in my life that sometimes the things that happen and the events that take place can truly take you off guard and put a huge burden on someone's heart and mind. It could be a health issue, a loss or even a crippling fear that you may be up against. In those times it can get extremely hard to see, "the light at the end of the tunnel." You may even feel so disconnected to others because of the battle (what ever it may be) you are currently fighting. It can be hard to truly connect and be comfortable with people to reveal you're true self when you are in dark times, but I am finding more and more often that so many people are hiding inside their inner wars and do not know how to face them or conquer the battle they are in. I have faced things in my life to long for words right now and I still face a battle of my own; with health, fears and self-doubt, but the one thing has brought me through it all and still does is hope.
It is hard to be 100% positive all the time. I see many facebook posts that say, "cut the negative people out," "only think positive thoughts," but on this earth; there is in no doubt in my mind that everyone has faced a hard day or hard situation in their life and have had negative emotions towards it (even when you are trying to be positive) and it is so evident that some people take out those inner feelings towards others, family members or even a stranger, but hope in the midst of adversity will be the strength to keep you going. I have grown up in a faith-filled home and I am truly thankful because of it and if I did not hold onto to hope in some of the gruesome battles I have fought and still face; I would not be here, I would not be alive. Staying true to yourself is key because if you lose who you are in what you are up against that is a dangerous place to be. So hold on and don't give into the self-doubt. I promise that no matter how hard your situation is; God meets you where you are it and not what you pretend to be.
