i believe everything, even brutally unfavorable events, serve a purpose in some way that you may not see immediately yeah. but personally, i like to believe some things don't have a deep complex reason at all for the sake of my sanity, they just happened. or just that i don't bother thinking about and figuring out the reason anymore. haven’t really indulged much in it, but living by the concept of absurdism freed me from my bitterness a bit 🎉
