i don’t at all believe in destiny or fate. i don’t believe that our lives are pre-programmed to lead to a specific point.
i believe that whatever happens, happens and whatever doesn’t happen, doesn’t happen. everything that takes you to a different place or position is nothing more than a coincidence.
one of many.
life is just a series of coincidences. two or more things coming together at the same time, purely by luck, yielding a certain result. a result that is then subject to countless other coincidences, varying and changing the circumstances and manner of the resultant outcome.

i like to think that everything in life is a matter of chance, luck, and timing. everything will always be unpredictable and nothing will ever be definite or unchanging. there are so few things in the course of our lives that aren’t prone to adjustment and variation.

i like to think that every single moment is capable of making or breaking your life. spending a few more seconds drinking coffee before leaving your house could mean that you narrowly miss finding yourself in the middle of a fatal car collision on the way to work. being a few seconds behind can save your life. similarly, those few seconds could instead cause you to miss a bus, where you might have sat next to a stranger who could have struck up conversation with you- eventually leading to this person becoming your lover or good friend.
i don’t believe that anything is predetermined. it’s all a matter of coincidence; timing. sometimes we’re lucky and sometimes we’re not.
