This is a story of a once enthusiastic and hopeful person. She dreamt of good things and strived hard to get what she wants. She fought the good fight, but no matter what she did, she always ended up losing. So, she ceases striving and instead learned to compromise. She shoved her dreams aside just to take up the huge responsibility left unattended. Although she was not meant to shoulder it alone herself.

She learned to smile even though she felt like crying. She celebrated other people’s success and kept wondering at night when her time will come or if it will ever come at all. She swallowed the unjust criticism and betrayal and pretended to be okay even though she was already hurting. Although tired and weary, she healed others and soothe their wounds by her kind words and encouragement.

When she was in need, she was afraid to ask for help – not out of pride but because she understands that everybody is dealing with their own problems and doesn’t want to add up to their burdens. She prayed hard and hoped for the best, not only for herself but for others as well. She may not be the Proverbs 31 kind of woman mentioned in the Bible. Yet she did what she can, remained steadfast and placed her faith in the one true GOD who sees it all – and that alone made all the difference.
