Things that clicked way later

I remained grateful for sight. Only then, that I began to see.

This illustration represents the counterintuitive idea that sometimes staying grateful—even when things don't make sense—can shift your perspective on a situation.

Not in a magical 'gratitude manifests good things' way, but in the psychological sense that emotional state affects what you notice and how you interpret experiences.

Frustration tends to highlight more problems. Gratitude tends to reveal more possibilities.

Not about forcing positivity or being grateful for genuinely harmful situations—about staying open and curious when circumstances are unclear.

Have you experienced a situation that seemed confusing or messy at first, but later revealed something valuable?

What changed—the situation itself or your understanding of it?

What's something you didn't understand at first but see differently now?

This design means different things to different people.

Some wear it as a reminder to stay curious when things are unclear.

Others see it as a prompt to look for what's working, even in difficult times.
