Do you ever have those days where you're just uncomfortable in your own skin? I feel like I've been going through one of those trials lately where the outside trial isn't really the trial. It's the cursor that's breaking down the inside to the real problem. It feels like there is a war of epic proportions going on on the inside, but there is a calm, collected front on the outside. I'm the type of person who tries to grin and bear it and not show that I'm having a hard time. I always try to be the optimist and find the silver lining bc I can't stand being around Debbie Downers who think the world is always against them, and always find something to complain about. This doesn't necessarily prove to be a good thing though bc then I tend to have break down moments where I feel like I just can't do it anymore. Is this a lack of faith on my part? Is it wrong to want to be able to glimpse into the future and know it's going to be ok? Am I the only one who feels this way?
I always feel like my "problems" are so trivial and that there are people who have way harder things going on in their lives. I have a great support system of friends and family, I have my health, I have a great calling that is difficult but is teaching me so much, and I have the knowledge of the gospel. So why do I feel like I just want to give up sometimes?

It's so normal to have days like that. Give yourself a moment to wallow in it, and then remember how awesome you are and and get over it. You are talented and beautiful and one day you will realize the reasons you are given these experiences!
I know EXACTLY how you feel. It's probably because we're in our late twenties, single, and don't want to work the rest of our lives (yet, it often feels like that's what we're destined to do), all our friends and family seem to move on, get married and have kids, while we seem to be at a standstill and can relate to all of them less and less, wish we didn't have to keep living with roommates who are a bunch of crazy girls, and to top it all off we have a wonderful monthly event known as PMS. Pretty sure what's why life feels that way sometimes. So, if you need someone to vent to, I'm all ears! :) Hang in there Melissa! Pretty sure life won't keep being like Groundhog's Day for the rest of our lives.
life really sucks sometimes for everybody. i'm like you and i like to put on a happy face and do my best to ignore the feelings, but every once and a while, you just have to give in have a good cry (or a good blog) and carry on. and i don't know if you really are bummed about all the single yadayadayada stuff, but i'll tell ya, married or not kids or not, life still sucks pretty bad for no reason sometimes. love ya, feel better.
i think it's cuz it's just life, and that's how life is sometimes. i am also the grin and bear it type, and those little cries always feel kinda good, and i think i'm always reminded that i can't do whatever it is i'm doing by myself. good luck chickee :) you can do it!
