Why is life so hard at times?

Coming home from school, taking a bath, drinking something cold and then eating lunch while watching Hannah Montana on Disney channel and then taking a nap. I remember those days when the only hardship was mathematics and waking up for school at 5 in the morning. We did not even realise when time passed by and we were in college. Life took a turn as we took our majors. It became a little monotonous when when I blew my 20th birthday candle. It was a little busy when I blew my 21st birthday candle. It was hard and full of struggle when I blew my 22nd birthday candle. With every year passing, it kept on becoming hard and somehow I lost something very close to me. I guess it was me? Adulting can be hard. Changes can be hard, but, in the end, we all are doing it to achieve something big, right? But, then why does it hurt so much at times? Why there is this loneliness even when we’re surrounded by people and work and jobs.

Would you relate?

In our day-to-day life we see a lot of things, feel a lot of emotions, go through a lot of new phases. We like some and we dislike some but that doesn’t stop us from experiencing life, from wanting more and from taking risks. We all are same at some point. People say we all are different and that we all have our differences. They say, ”not every finger is same” and we agree, but, when we are alone in life and having trouble with schools, colleges, jobs, we look around and see people working hard and overtime for a better lifestyle. We feel connected to them. We realize that even if we all are different from each other in so many aspects, we connect. We feel as if they are on the same boat as us. They are doing exactly what we’ve been doing and that there is a similarity that connects us to them.
