Airports are so Fiat.

Missed boarding a flight by 2 mins (8mins before takeoff). I got stopped through security because I had a butter knife in my carry on bag.

I'm tired & annoyed but I'm also remembering that there are no coincidences. I'm not sure why I wasn't supposed to be on that flight yet though.

I'm now in the flight that I initially wanted to be on & I have 6 less hours with my  grumpy boomer father in law.

Believing that everything is happening for you (rather than to you) helps you to see the silver lining in shitty situations. Perhaps the reason for missing the flight was that someone on Nostr needed to hear this message?
