We hear this all the time and some scoff when others say it because “your problem is nothing like mine”, right? We are always told “we’re all the same on the inside”. The problem is, we are nothing alike, and each of us processes emotions in different ways. The same situation that puts some in tears has absolutely no effect on someone else. That doesn’t mean one or the other is broken because, in ways, we are all broken finding our way through a dark world. It is how we reestablish ourselves and keep on going that matters. Then, it is how we help the other person pick themselves up as well. Our lives are put together by the most beautiful puzzlemaker on the planet. We have the ability to shift pieces around as we make decisions in our lives, as new beginnings carve colorful pieces, and bad choices alter the dark ones God originally placed. Surround yourself by people that have the same amount of color and joy; those that will help you sift through the pieces when you need it most.
God Bless
