Life Is Rough

This past week has been rough.  Maybe it was the whole week I was gone from reality of working part time, doing online classes part time, working on my little side projects with the ALA that made this past week so rough as I got back into the swing of things.  Regardless of what it was, it was a very rough week and I don't feel guilty at all for not being able to blog like I wish I could have.

Today's prompt: write a letter to your readers.  I think I can manage that, tonight earlier today I wouldn't have even bothered thinking I could handle such a simple task.

Dear Readers,

There probably isn't many of you, but that's all right.  I want you to know that life is rough, but you've probably already figured that much out.





Life is rough, and that's something that I'm learning this summer.  I should tell you that I sort of already knew that but it's different this time because I'm actually feeling the struggle of being an adult.

See, here's the thing.  In high school my teachers and the adults that were around would always tell me and my friends that we shouldn't wish we could hurry and graduate because life is tough, especially as an adult.  None of them ever told us that because we thought we had things figured out that those things would be pushed off the ledge and/or thrown in the air, causing more problems than we would know what to do.

My point, I think, life is rough at any stage.  I faced my own struggles in high school and those struggles are much different from what I'm working through now.  The important thing, is to never lose sight of who you are as a person and who you want to be.  And to be honest, I didn't even know that was the most important until this evening writing you this little letter.

I'm still working on figuring out who I am, but I'm doing it now because of my struggles.
