Looking for quotes on emotions? Everyone has experienced the kind of circumstance when they can only respond, “It’s been a hard time,” when asked how they are. Everyone experiences difficult periods in life, and no matter how hard you try to explain, nobody can completely understand your predicament if they have never gone through it themselves.
It can also be challenging to see anything as being positive when a rough patch has evolved into what feels like a rough existence.
