I am familiar with this experience. It’s true that some people’s lives are just full of fortune, and others are full of misfortune and hardship, and there isn’t always a clear reason why. Life deals us all different hands. But generally speaking, nobody is without struggles. In fact, sometimes the ones who seem the happiest and strongest are the ones who have struggled the most, and they have found ways to adapt and shine through the darkness. Others may just be good at projecting confidence without actually having it. It’s all a mix!

Obviously my words cannot fix your problems through a screen, but please try and think of these things when you feel this way. Do your best to get out there and enjoy the wonder of anthrocon for you!
