the fine art of falling apart.
life has such a funny way of unfolding. is it destiny? do certain situations occur because of fate?
fate is defined as:
fate, Pronunciation Key (fāt)
1. a. The supposed force, principle, or power that predetermines events.
b. The inevitable events predestined by this force.
2. A final result or consequence; an outcome.
3. Unfavorable destiny; doom.
some people believe in fate. i’m not sure that i do. the thought that my entire life is predetermined kind of makes me sad. i like to think that my actions and decisions in life have an impact on the outcome. fate is almost like someone has a remote control labelled “andrea” that controls all my actions, from the moment of conception to the day of my death. i’m still not so sure that i believe in fate, nor do i really want to.
the word ‘fate’ has been thrown at me from a few different directions in the past week. i’d really like to know what other people think of fate, especially those who used the word and directed it at me.
if my fate is what people are implying that it is right now, then maybe i should take it and run with it. if my fate holds the opposite, i just might give it back to the guy with the controller and tell him to shove it.
screw it, i’m going to make my own fate.

A person often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it. -Jean de La Fontaine
