Struggles feel pointless when you're in them, but hindsight often reveals their purpose. Post-traumatic growth shows how adversity can uncover hidden strengths and meaning. Some people later feel grateful for the hard times that changed them.
Not everything makes sense when you're going through it. Yeah. It's been my experience though, with hindsight of course, that if you're going through struggles, sometime in the future you look back knowing why it happened the way it did. And to another level, maybe you even are grateful certain things happened the way they did. It's like post-traumatic growth. That's this psychological phenomenon that you went through adversity you wouldn't wish upon anybody, but you wouldn't change it for yourself because you discovered something, purpose or a mission or a meaning or a strength or a trait that you didn't realize that you had. Yeah.
