Because sometimes when life sucks...

Sometimes...life just sucks. Am I right?

Homework never ends, and teachers don't seem to care.

Friends are awesome, but we all have days where we feel incredibly lonely. And, let's face it--that's not a good feeling.

You try to be a good person, but for some reason certain people just really get on your nerves. And the conversations always end up with you feeling angry. It just happens.

Then, there are the things you think about but don't actually admit out loud:

... The way you feel when you see pictures of yourself, you feel ugly or fat.

... How you can hear your parents fighting every night after you go to bed.

... That moment you felt like puking because you were mocked in front of friends.

... How you have a ton of questions about God, but you know actually asking them would make you feel like "bad Christian."

... How you cried yourself to sleep to a few nights ago because you miss your grandmother since she passed away from cancer.

Like I said, life sucks.

And here is where the usual advice would be "God understands. Talk to Him. He will comfort you!" But I get it--you may not feel like He actually cares. To a lot of people, God is some big  guy in the sky that doesn't care that you're upset about what you're ex-best said about you. And it will take a long time before you feel comfortable even talking to Him.

I pray that you will be able to reach that point. And I pray that you do understand that He does love you and He does care.

But until that moment, when life sucks, don't be afraid to reach out to someone now. Reaching out doesn't mean that you are weak, or that you have to find someone to "fix" you. Nah... reaching out just means finding that one person you trust to just listen, and give you a hug.

Because sometimes when life sucks, you don't want advice. You just want a hug.
