As time goes by and as we grow and make progress with our lives, circumstances we have faced and hurdles we have been able to scale has opened our eyes to the fact that life is not a bed of roses. You may stand on your balcony to monitor that brother or sister as he/she drives in and out, thinking of how privileged he/she is to be born into a rich home not knowing what he/she passes through behind close doors. That's just the way life is. People have their own personal races to run too. It throws at you all manner of things, the ones that lift you and the ones that weigh you down. It's now left to you to make the choice of what you can live with. Just have it at the back of your mind that life is not a bed of roses.
