The answer to this question is pretty obvious. Everything.

Many a time it happens that we overthink a lot of possibilities (and impossibilities) of things that could transpire on any given day, any given minute. It could also be that things go wrong in bursts, or everything goes wrong forever. It depends on perspective, really.

Or does it? Sometimes it does happen that we define a set of things that consitute “wrongness” - and we may or may not tick some or all of the items on that list. But on some rare occasions things outside of this ill-fated list happen that we wouldn’t even have considered in our thinking of possibilities. And that’s precisely a hint at my state of mind at the time of writing.

Defining going wrong can be hard and a grey area to dabble into - but following a very simple approach and calling any recent event or incident that makes you sad immediately as being “things gone wrong” can be one way to go about it. With this definition in mind, nearly everything is going wrong at this point and I could sulk about it all month long. But thankfully (arguably) we deal with a lot of grey areas over our lives and seek hope in even the most difficult of times. What’s going wrong right now in multiple packets can well set one up for greater mental strength in the future, can make one value existing things around much more, and most importantly, value good health. Good health is quite underrated at any point in life.

Given the number of actors at play on this overcrowded stage of life, it’s difficult to say that this fancy word holds in the real world. And that is perhaps a good thing, since it provides a sense of uniqueness to everyone’s trajectories. And in some tangential way it also could mean that immediate “going wrong”s set us up for better times in the future, in the form of some uncanny sense of hope. Hope is a good thing.

Things could and do go wrong, but on the contrary things can and do go right too.
