I will not sugarcoat it for you

At times, it will feel as if the world is playing some cruel cosmic joke on you
It will feel as if it takes everything inside you to keep going and smile
It will seem as if the people around you do not see that you’re drowning
And it will be tempting to give up

But hear me when I tell you this

Your worst enemy is yourself
The friends who annoy you will become your biggest allies
And even though time seems to be moving unbearably slowly, it will eventually speed up

I will not sugarcoat it for you. It will be hard
But I'm telling you it will be worth it…more than you can possibly imagine
