It's crazy how the big changes in my life I thought were catastrophes ended up being catalysts for a better future.  I'm thankful for all of them.
They really do make you stronger dont they. It may not seem like it right away though.
My ex broke up with me 6 months ago.  But since then I've been self-employed, gaining full autonomy of time, and have a bunch of hot girls randomly texting me it's pretty surreal hahaha
That is a great way to make the best out of the worst. Good for you.
