Hard Times of Life

Life is a beautiful mystery that often leaves us pondering about its true nature. Sometimes, we may feel like others judge us without truly understanding who we are. However, every day presents new opportunities, and it's crucial to remind ourselves to be prepared for anything that comes our way. As I walk through the grand gates, I feel the weight of curious eyes on me, analyzing me like a piece of art. It's natural to feel anxious and wonder if they're evaluating my worth or if I have done something wrong. But I must resist the urge to second-guess myself and instead walk confidently down the aisle, knowing that I am just as deserving of being there as anyone else. Sometimes, when I see my friends' big smiles, I get insecure and worry they might be fake. I even wonder if they talk smack about me behind my back. Our mentors greet us and give us tasks, and they sit there on their thrones, looking at us with despair. Some people think it's cool to be in our rank, but it's tough and it was never meant to be easy. Every day, there's pressure, challenges, and despair. But I refuse to let those thoughts weaken me. I must stay strong for my family. Sometimes when I arrive home, I look in the mirror and ask myself, "Am I worthy of this rank?"
