The plot twist nobody asked for usually becomes the chapter everyone remembers.

The parts of a life that turn out to matter most are rarely the parts anyone chose. Interruption forces a change of direction, and changes of direction are what a story is made of. At the time it registers only as disruption, because the meaning of an event tends to arrive long after the event itself.

You do not have to be grateful for what went wrong. It is enough to stay curious about where it leads. When you can manage it, ask what this opens rather than only what it closed, and give the answer a few months to show up.
