Destiny. Do you believe in it?

Yes.

You do?

Yes, very much so.

Do you believe you control your destiny?

I believe we can make certain choices, perhaps even deny destiny, but we will always be unfulfilled if we do so, and it is likely it might catch up with us anyway. I've known people who tried to run from it, only to find it right behind them.

Comes and bits you in the ass right?

To put it mildly.

I wonder what it has in mind for me.

Have you felt its pull, lately?

Not really, no.

May I ask what prompted your question?

Family, they are all getting with people who they seem to be fated to be with.

Ahhh. That sort of destiny, I am ... less sure of.

But you know destiny?

Very well, I'm afraid.

How, if you don't mind me asking.

I have spent the last year watching the world turn me and those around me inside out, shaping us into people we never expected to be, throwing things at us we never could have imagined. Walking away has been impossible for all of us.

Sounds harsh.

That is one word for it.

I think you should choose it, and stick to it.

You think we should decide on our own? You don't think there is some force out there that's making our lives do what they do?

I think people make choices, and their fate comes from those.

If you want something, do you go for it, even if you fail do you go for it?
