It was such an encouragement to hear how much they loved the group because of the fact that they felt loved and accepted and that they weren't alone in their problems. I think joy is restored when the truth is exposed. Our zeal for life is lost when we are constrained by our burdens, because we try to carry themselves. We chatted tonight about how amazing it is to hear that another girl deals with the same struggle. Knowing that alone lifts some of the burden. You don't beat yourself up as much, knowing that other girls are dealing with it and have gotten through it. We were not meant to walk this world alone. My joy is found through the little things in life. Such as conversations, hugs, and walking through life with others. Sharing laughter (if that even makes sense, it as printed on the inside of my jeans).
