Life is not always easy. Unfortunately, things happen to us and we don't know why. Whether it's school, work, or losing someone, life can sometimes leave us feeling down in the dumps. We shut down and think the pain we feel is never going to end. Although we do have family and friends to fall back on, it's not always easy when we feel like there's no way up. People will always say it'll get better from here, but it is hard to believe them at that particular moment. But, as we sit there and think, they are actually right. Eventually, life will get better, and the troubles will end. Here are 10 quotes to get you through those rough storms that get the best of you:
