Why is life so hard?

That's a question I ask myself a lot. I don't know why life seems so hard to me, I have great friends, a family that cares for me, and a AWESOME church family too. And yet I still ask why is life so hard? It could be secrets that I have kept to myself and are eatting me up inside, or it could be the fact that there seems to be a lot of drama every few weeks, but I really don't know. Maybe life isn't exactly hard, maybe we just make it that way. I guess I just need to pray about it, I mean that's all I could do really.
