Life has its peculiar challenges and not many can deal because, the things they are used to dealing is not mostly easy.
Hold on and don't give up on yourself. You are the principal actor of your own movie and when you put in your best to star well in it, the world may just fall in love with you and then you become a Star.
Kick the struggle to the background, stand like you have all the strength you need to weather the storm. Stand when you have to and sit when it is necessary.
