People tend to think the worst in the hard times. Am I ever going to be alright? Will I get cancer? What’s going to happen to me? How am I going to enjoy life when I perfectly know that I’m screwed up? We try to put a smile on our faces, but in fact it’s only a shadow of a smile. We put our masks on and pretend everything’s alright. However, deep down we know nothing’s alright anymore. Even a nice dress or an amazing pair of shoes won’t make us feel better. I've put it wrongly. It would help but only for a moment; later on it would be just another pair of nice shoes that takes space in our overstuffed wardrobe.

How to get on with life then? Is it even possible? There might be moments when we get so occupied with other problems that the big ones seem to fade or even disappear. How long for though? We perfectly know that they are never going to go away even if we try running away from them for as long as we can. What should we do then?

If I ever get the answer, I’ll make sure to let you know…
