she was the first person I ever talked to here…

Moving on to point [3]
3] This is last but not any less important…
Some things will still “get to you”…
no matter how much you try to change the way you think
or how much occupied you become…
There will always be a level of vulnerability
Here you have to accept a very important concept / fact
Life can not be paradise
[& believe me, I wish so much that it was
for your sake
& for the sake of all the people here
& for the sake of the whole world
but we have to accept the fact that it’s not possible…
there will be hardships
& there will be pain
& some things will still hurt no matter what we do or don’t do about them
I don’t know anything about your beliefs
but based on mine,
I can tell you that Life is not Paradise
because God did not intend for it to be so…
If I am going to choose a metaphor for life
I’d say life is more like an exam / a test hall
or even more like a boxing ring or a battlefield
It’s designed to host the tests / fights / battles
There are regular breaks in-between
some are long, some are short
some of the rest areas / cafeterias are really beautiful & relaxing
some are a bit dull or even depressing
& you get to rest / spend your breaks at a different area every time
but the breaks, no matter how long or short, relaxing or dull, can not last forever
again, the real purpose of the test hall / the boxing ring / the battlefield
is to host the tests / the fights / the battles
not the breaks
The breaks are there out of mercy & compassion from the test / fight / battle co-ordinator
[in this case, God]
to allow you to catch your breath,
regain your strength
get support from Him, other people or other things
study / train a bit more, a bit harder,
learn from your previous mistakes
but taking a break forever makes life un purposed
which brings me back to what I said at the very top

there has to be hardships
& there has to be pain
I can even tell u that
some periods will pass where nothing bad has happened at all
but still a day comes by where u feel some emptiness or sadness inside
& u don’t know why…
It’s okay
Life is sometimes heavy & tiresome that way
It hurts u even when nothing is happening
It’s alright ?

It’s the balance of life, there’s nothing to be done about it. It is the nature of life. Every good thing, every smile and laugh, comes at a price.
Sadly you’re right, but it’s not as balanced as it looks, some have it way harder than others. That makes me really upset
