Sometimes painful circumstances that seem to have no silver lining are truly for the better.
Recently, I've had someone who I thought was my best friend refuse to help with me with some very simple, small favors that were very important to me. It was painful. Very painful. I cried for two hours. This is from the girl who hasn't cried in front of any one except her immediate family in over five years. I don't cry.
This same girl is leaving and moving several states away. Previously, I was devastated. But the above experience made me realize that perhaps I'm worth more than that. I don't always have to be the only one giving in a relationship. I deserve a friend who is not selfish and wants to help me as much as I help her/him.
So as much as I wish that life could be simple...maybe this is God's way of telling me that life will be ok. Because that is the point of trials. To learn from them.

This is life: the beauty is there, and then all the time, every minute, a little piece of heaven falls right into your hand. You just have to open your palm and accept it.
