Aftersome

adj. Astonished to think back on the bizarre sequence of accidents that brought you to where you are today--if you'd spent years bouncing down a Plinko pegboard, passing through a million harmless decision points, any one of which might've changed everything--which makes your long and winding path feel fated from the start, yet so unlikely as to be virtually impossible.

Etymology

Swedish eftersom, because.
