When life seems hard
Originally appeared online in the teen column: UpFront - February 17, 2017
“Today I was trying to figure out why life seems so hard,” my friend texted. “So I asked Google.”
Google, unfortunately, did not offer up any satisfying answers, which is why my friend texted me. And while I didn’t have an answer to “why,” I did agree that we all want to know what to do when things seem hard. How to deal. How not to get submerged in the waves of life’s challenges.
