I know that feel, bro. Sometimes, contemplating on my life and the past makes me question if its purpose is pain and suffering, which was what it's been mostly lately.

At the end of the day, I learned that the more the pain, the more the relief. So life turns out is really balanced after all.

I agree, everything that's happened to me has to have happened for a reason, it made me who I am today, physically and mentally stronger with more clear thoughts.

Nightmares sometimes come back to me though, but those are rare to have.

Young'uns tend to have more nightmares, but, with fear also being a common element in my life nowadays in addition to the other two, I have had probably at least a few nightmares this year. Stress is pretty much the same thing, it makes you more alert, more fitting in a social/physical environment.

Does that old thing go "What doesn't kill you will make you stronger"?
