She said.

I just don’t understand why people choose to suffer alone. We all suffer. We all have things flying through our heads at a mile a minute- we are all experiencing. Am I wrong? Am I the only one who has worries, dreams, hopes, and fears? No. Then why do we keep so much to ourselves. It’s not meant to be like this. We aren’t supposed to be stuck in a building for over six hours a day by ourselves. If we don’t talk about what’s on our hearts, that’s practically what we are- entirely alone. Everyone else just fills the moments with small talk. Well for me, that’s not enough. Let’s get real. Sometimes I long to just stand up in the middle of class and shout, “STOP. LISTEN.” and tell my whole life story to the entire class. Every struggle, every tear, everything. What if every single person did that. If we all let go, then no one could judge anyone. And if they still did, what does it matter? God loves us more than we could ever know- that’s what matters. We are all human. We all feel. Don’t you get it? We are the same. A bagger at a grocery store, a successful real estate agent, the carpenter finishing my basement, a sixteen year old high school student- we are the same. Yes we have different backgrounds, different obligations, and different dreams. But we have all experienced pain. We are all living on this planet temporarily. We all will reach the day where we stand in front of the Father and be either thrown into the fiery lake of burning sulfur or enter the gates of heaven. How am I supposed to sit in Precalc learning limits when there is a classroom full of people around me who just don’t get it.
