The “Burnt Toast Theory of Life” is a theory made viral by social media platform TikTok and the concept is very interesting as it is all about accepting all those things happening in your life that you have no control over.
According to the creator of this terminology on the platform, Ingrid, the theory is the “idea that if you burn your toast before work and it adds five to 10 minutes to your trip, it’s actually saving you from something catastrophic. Maybe it’s saving you from a car accident, maybe it’s saving you from running into someone who you don’t want to run into.’
As explained by Ingrid, the theory “is the idea that inconveniences in our lives, or when something releases us in the universe, it’s either saving us from something more detrimental or pushing us in the direction that we need to go in. Of course, you won’t know what the burnt toast saved you from, but that’s not the point; the point is to allow you to accept things in life that are completely out of your control.”
