I'm not saying the bad times were worth it but that is the good I took away. The people I know that have everything in life handed to them can be lovely people but I often notice them to be shallow and lacking compassion. Without suffering you can't truly know compassion I believe. The deeper you've felt sorrow the deeper your able to feel joy. You're gifts may not be as apparent on the outside as hers but I'm guessing if you look deep down you'll realize how glad you are to be the person you are. Someone who doesn't take a new life for granted. I'm sure you have a strength in you she will never have.

Hang in there!!
Beautifully said Fae, and so very true. I have though this way for years. So nice to hear others feel the same way.
