Nobody has an easy life but….

Have you ever heard someone claim that they lived an easy life so far? I've heard this one from someone. I didn't believe it but then I got it. That person used alcohol to escape reality. That form of escapism was the easy way out.

Have you ever heard someone claim that they lived an easy life so far? I’ve heard this claim only once so far from someone. I didn’t believe it but then I got it. That person used alcohol and parties to escape reality. That form of escapism was the easy way out. Well, it seemed like the easy way out because that person had a big reality check later on. I’ve seen it happen and it wasn’t pretty. It happens to everybody who acts like this. But some people assume that others have an easy life and they don’t. I’ve heard this line so many times: “why don’t we switch lives for a day. You’ll see how hard my life is and how easy yours is”.

I know what’ll happen at the end of such a day. We’ll both realize that we both face struggles and both have problems. I assume that people mostly focus on what they want and ignore what they don’t want. So they only see happiness and neglect other people’s pain. Well, they don’t necessarily neglect it since most people don’t show how much pain they have. Maybe that’s the hidden danger? Stop focusing on others. You’re looking at a mirage and you don’t even realize it. I’ve seen a lot of people who got tons of pain hidden behind their smiles.

Nobody has an easy life but…

A friend of mine recently told me something interesting. Here’s the exact quote: “I feel for you. You didn’t have an easy life so far. I hope that you’re luckier in the near future.” I instantly replied that I always learned a lesson and didn’t get bitter so that it’s all good. A great friend though. That’s a caring friend. That person didn’t have an easy life as well but just forgot about it in that very instant. I think that everybody just faces a different kind of problems. A single person will face completely different problems than people who’re in a relationship. It’s a perception issue I guess.

An easy life? I don’t think so!

But what about the people who claim that they didn’t have a rough ride? Well, those have to be drunk, stoned, stupid, delusional or all of the previous together. People hate discomfort and talking about your pain or troubles isn’t comfortable if you’re not used to it. They mostly do everything to escape it so they put up an act. They act like nothing can hurt them but deep down inside they’re empty and full of pain.

Others will be jealous of those people but there’s nothing to be jealous about. There’s not a single reason why you should focus on other people. Focus on the best version of you, that’s the best thing that you can do.

Nobody has an easy life but…

I’m glad that I don’t have an easy life. It makes sure that I can grow. I’m a stronger person by facing all my problems. I just take the bull by the horns. This no-bullshit approach makes sure that I’ve got the strength to endure the real life. Sure it hurts from time to time and yes sometimes I have to take a step back and even cry because I’m hit hard but I eventually move forward again. Life’s all about moving forward and you need to put your past behind you.

In conclusion: a difficult life isn’t an impossible life. Keep your head up no matter how hard the struggle. Other people face problems as well but only the ones who acknowledge and tackle them will live a rich and fulfilled life. You see it takes a lot more courage to say that you’re facing some difficulties from time to time. Neglecting the harsh times in your own life is one of the dumbest things that you can do.
