What happens when the worst case scenario hits?

Life is all happy and charming, or full of cribbing and bloating until the one day when your entire assumed world trembles down to shatters. The world is no more a happy place. The trust you once had on people and places is all over the place. Your life isn’t the same from this day. Of course it was in a process for the day to come, but we stay in hallucinations of our illusions.

This particular day shatters it all for once. But no, none of us are able to restart life from a new angle from the next day. It takes weeks to find a resolve. It takes months to find yourself back and bring together the broken pieces, but what it truly does is it tests you. It makes you rethink your values, probably shackling you back to guilt, remorse and much worse, but you are finally left to deal with the unknown. If you had imagined this as the worst hit, it’s going to pain and take time to heal. However what it really shows you is what are you at your worst, and when you get up from that ground 0, when you have nothing to lose, much power to you that instead of suicide, you’re hopeful towards building yourself again. Probably much stronger, learning from these lessons and turning to a life that’s not lived by someone else’s parameters but your own.
