resulted in a wonderful personality

Well, that's a corollary that I'm not sure is true either, like anything we've thought logically follows from another thing in this life. Like what didn't kill us made us stronger mentioned in another comment here. Well, I'm not sure that all the hardships have made me stronger. They have made me more pessimistic and disillusioned with life for sure.
I'm glad you find meaning in reading all of this.
Thank you!
