To all the people told "You have it easy"

This article is dedicated to you, and everyone that has been told we have it easy for the intention of keeping you quiet or belittle what you are going through or even set lower standards for yourself.

It is our responsibility to try learn to confide in others or someone but it is not our responsibility to then validate to them if they do not understand they have their own obsticles also.
