That's actually a very accurate observation!

The Universe works to arrange circumstances which ultimately fuel conscious growth (evolution)... And it's the difficult and challenging experiences which are one of the biggest drivers of this process.

For most of us, it requires being pushed to the brink where we reach a point where we feel like we can no longer continue on thinking, feeling, and perceiving in the limiting manner that we had become accustomed to throughout most of our lives.

It's when you feel like you can't handle/take anymore that something opens up within you, and you see a new direction to travel down. The further along you go - the more it starts to make sense why you've experienced everything you have, up until that point.

So you see, I don't view what you're reporting here as sad or tragic - I see it as functional and purposeful. Doesn't make much sense while you're going through it (I get that) - but it will look completely different once you push through it all and then look back with hindsight and a newfound awareness. Keep going!
