Does Life Really Have to Fall Apart Before It Gets Better?

Life has this strange way of falling apart before it gets better, doesn’t it? It’s like everything crumbles all at once, and in the moment, it feels unbearable—like we’re stuck in some sort of storm that’ll never end. When things fall apart, it can feel like the universe is against us, but somehow, there’s this odd, almost divine energy that seems to pull us back. It’s as if we’re being tested, or maybe realigned, but the catch is, we don’t see that bigger picture when we’re in the thick of it. And that’s the hardest part—because it hurts. When relationships break down, when plans go awry, or when life just doesn’t make sense, it’s tough to see any light at the end of the tunnel. We’re left questioning everything and wondering if it's even worth pushing through. But if we don’t give up, if we resist that urge to crash completely, it’s almost like we get this momentum that eventually propels us forward. The irony is, though, those moments of destruction, as painful as they are, tend to clear the way for something better. But in the moment? Yeah, it sucks. It feels unfair, frustrating, and overwhelming. It’s only when we look back that we realize those tough times shaped us, made us stronger, and brought us to a place we might never have reached otherwise. It’s like the universe has a funny way of setting us up for something greater, but the cost is going through the mess first. So even when it feels like life is falling apart, we have to remember that the best things tend to come after the worst moments. If we keep pushing forward, the pieces will eventually come together again, and maybe even in ways we never expected.
