Why Not Every Mistake Has a Lesson (and That’s Okay)
2We all make mistakes — sometimes small, sometimes catastrophic. But what if the key isn’t to find a hidden “lesson” in every bad thing that happens… but instead to give yourself grace?
In this video, I share my thoughts on self-forgiveness, the futility of searching for meaning in chaos, and why nihilism can actually be freeing. Mistakes are inevitable, life is unpredictable, and sometimes… shit just happens. And that’s okay.
If you’ve been struggling with self-blame, overthinking, or trying to attach meaning to every setback, I hope this video gives you some peace of mind.
