I really do think adversity makes you stronger. But it's a bitch while you're going through it, isn't it?

It will get better. Things always do. And then they will get worse. And better again.

Maybe we can focus on what we HAVE and how lucky we are in some respects. I'd prefer to try to focus on someone else's problems, though. Takes my mind off mine.
