What are Common Issues?
When we are young, we are told that everything will be okay. That people will always love us. That bad things don’t happen to good people. That people will always be there for us. When the innocence of childhood fades, we are left with competing realities. First, that life is hard. Try as you might, some people are mean. Bad things do happen to good people. Sometimes the people we trust in the most let us down – in ways that leave lasting scars. However, despite the hurt and pain we see daily, we experience something else too. The second reality is that there is hope. The strength of the human condition is to believe in a better day, despite your current struggles or situation. Finding the flower growing up out of the cracks in the concrete. To empower. To embolden. To give you what you need to flourish where you are planted.
