Sweet Coincidence

I am one of those who believes in fate.

I think that everything happens for a reason, whether we realize it or not, and everything that happens falls into place exactly how it should. Good and bad.

People we meet in our lives, sometimes the people who end up being our closest friends or those who have a significant impact, enter into the picture frame sometimes unknowingly.

I feel like it is all a giant spider web. Everything is connected by a simple strand.

This could not have happened unless this happened first and then this happened.

The older I become, the more and more I run into this.

When do you stop looking at things as simple coincidences and rather as things that were supposed to be, it all starts to make a bit more sense. You cannot create or force this into being, it just is. And you have to accept it. I have made decisions in my life and run into circumstances that I have tried to sway or coerce and if it is meant to be it will be, if it is not, it will cease and desist, but what is supposed to be is exactly what is in action. It is merely my actions that determine how smooth or bumpy that road will be and it is my free will that puts me into position. However, fate and free will intersect, but what about when I feel those random urges to do things? When I feel the urges out of nowhere? When I follow what appears in my dreams? What my heart wants? I become overwhelmed with compulsion and I give in, and usually it turns out, because it was supposed to be all along. But when I have to reason and ration with myself and coerce and force the situation, it wasn't meant to be but I can make it, usually then it doesn't work out anyhow.


I meet many people, many different people, who in some way or another end up playing a large part in my life, and I never would have thought anything of it when it happened, it just became, but then I look back and realize that unless certain situations had occurred, some as simple as being in the right time and place or talking to the right people or just lingering around for that introduction by someone else, these relationships would have never blossomed into the dynamic things that they become.

Then there are the coincidences that are deep down coincidences. You happen to have a strong inclination or knowledge over that weird thing that I also happen to be crazy about, and then you happen to know the same people or that same thing and how did we not meet before?

It happens so much and so often to me. I call it fate.

And I never complain, because it has only provided me with wonderfulness.

And love. That's when the love happens as well, by coincidence and by a series of circumstances leading one to the other.

It's fate.
