The thing is, life is never really easy no matter how old you are. My teens were awkward, hormone ridden and quite depressing. But my adulthood is no easier, because now I have kids and a home and so many responsibilities that I never had when I was a teen. Life is difficult, unless you're born under a lucky star, with a silver spoon in your mouth. We all just have to muddle through as best we can, and hope we make the right choices.
