Do you believe the universe tries to tell us things

And it tries to push us in another direction or gives hints of it?
Currently live abroad, but for a while it feels everything has been against us-not keen on the schools, had money struggles, now lots of ill health and people passing in the family.
I often wonder if it’s just telling us to give up, go back home.
Have you ever felt like this? Do you fight against it or leave things to fate?

Absolutely not.
“The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile but that it is indifferent, but if we can come to terms with this indifference, then our existence as a species can have genuine meaning. However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light.”
― Stanley Kubrick

Not sure in your case.

But sometimes in the past when I have simplified certain things life gets better as it’s less complicated and less stressful. Not thinking of anything major just something like applying for a better job I enjoyed more, more money, much closer to home i.e. within easy walking distance rather than a fairly short drive with lots of traffic and around the same time DD turned two and I was able to move both DC to a nursery closer to home rather than work and closer to the primary school they would eventually go to. I not only saved time, saved stress, got some exercise, time outside and more quality time with my DC so I felt happier.

I don't believe this personally. But if things aren't going well, then you can decide to come home. Not because the universe is telling you but just because you choose to.

I believe shit happens.
That's where my deep thinking ends and my problem solving begins.

Absolutely not, no. And I don't think things happen for a reason either..I mean, physical cause and effect yes, but not some cosmic fate that comes about through x,y and z events. Things happen due to choices made. Interesting work being done all the time about the link between neurology and "free will" but that still does not point to "meaning" or "destiny". If a good outcome eventually occurs following shitty events that's nice, but the result of simple happenstance.

I believe signs are everywhere! Absolutely the universe will attempt to guide/warn you. The difficulty lies in being able to hear & decipher those messages!

Yes!

If it’s easy it’s the path I should follow.

If it’s impossible to find a solution, it’s time for another plan. I’m in limbo at the moment waiting for direction. I hope it’s path I want to take!

I believe things happen for a reason ut not sure what the reason is.
I think sometimes its to teach us life lessons.
