You Don't Know My Story

People often judge us by what they "think" or "assume" they know concerning "our" lives.  Some look at us and are envious by what we have or, perhaps, how we carry ourselves.  However, they have no idea what is going on in the background.  We may be smiling outwardly but on the inside we are a "jumbled mess."  There are those of us who are good at "hiding" our thoughts and feelings but that doesn't mean life is any easier for us than the next person.  So the next time you wished you were in someone else's shoes or feel like passing judgment on them, try to remember that you don't know what they have gone through or are currently dealing with.
