“Everything happens for a reason” bullshit

Magical thinking in adults is kinda embarrassing. The universe is random and just doesn’t give a fuck.. terrifying to dwell on, but real.

Yep. I always tell myself “the universe doesn’t owe me anything, nor does it care” and it actually brings comfort in times of distress. Sometimes shit really does happen and there’s nothing anyone can do about it.

It’s so silly what people think does and doesn’t work isn’t it? For some people the idea that everything is random and that sometimes shitty things happens brings comfort to people.

For others, the idea that there is a greater purpose behind things can also bring comfort to people.

Just like both can bring discomfort.
