Randomness looks intentional when viewed backward with enough imagination.

Hindsight is a storyteller, and it works with whatever material it is given. Looking backward, coincidences line up into arcs, unrelated events become causes, and a path that was chosen half by accident starts to look like destiny. The pattern is real in the retelling and was never there in the moment.

Try reconstructing how a turning point in your life actually felt while it was happening. The uncertainty, the near misses, the choices that could have gone either way. Holding that honestly makes you gentler about your past and less certain about your predictions.
