I don't know if it's just a season.
When I've faced a difficult time in my life, I would often say "it's just a season". While that is true on some level, I think I'm realizing as I get older that life is just hard. It's not just a season. It's life.
As simple as that might sound, it has brought incredible freedom to my own life. I found myself always waiting with baited-breath, clinging to the hope of the "season" coming to an end. And yet, as soon as one little situation was cleared, another one would come our way.
