AMEN! It's a dirty rotten place huh?` I live here too! and the worst part is that it COULD be so nice if you just had "the bucks" or "the looks" or "the whatever" but sadly, we don't...so we have to find a way to face it as we are (which is'nt working) or find a new way to face it that does! I've tried running from it, hiding, doping, faking, screaming/crying, depression,anger, you name it I've probably done it...if you want whats going on in your life to stop try praising God for all of his blessings and feel the bitterness in your heart melt away...I know it sounds crazy but it worked for me! (repeat daily if needed)
