Life Lessons

I have my share of my downfalls, too—I just don't share it to people, at times. Because I know we have been dealing with our own demons and struggles, I don't want to burden others with mine. Some people may think that it's their responsibility to make me feel good, that's why I don't talk about my hardships. Actually, it's not their duty to solve my problems—by just being there, it's already a huge help. But I am on my way to learning how to communicate this properly—how to let people know I am also having a hard time, and I am not always on the brighter side of this life. I am convincing myself that it's okay to show my weakness to people and that I also cry. That if I am to introduce myself to my people, they should also know about my vulnerable side. —Ren Ednalig
