That crazy little thing called Destiny

Me, wondering . . . 

I often wonder what’s the meaning of destiny.

Wikipedia defines it as predetermined course of events.

Predetermined???

Were you supposed to know that you are to see this moment happen before your eyes? Were you supposed to know that you were destined to be a fashion model even though you took up medicine in college? Were you supposed to know that he is the one?

I thought it’s the opposite.

That without knowing what life has in store for you, there’s this insane element, yes I would call it element, that gives answers for later. 


As certain as that may sound, I won’t rely on this so-called destiny.

I want to know and watch where I’m going should I plunge in head first into whatever endeavour I chose to burden myself with. I want to reap the benefits of my choices and celebrate my losses. I want to live life having full knowledge of the cause and effect of my actions because I know myself well.  

I have arrived to a conclusion that destiny is a bonus! 


It’s not something that has always been up for grabs. Because life has never been predetermined.

Some people are simply the sole architect of their future while others were led strongly by their belief in destiny.

I would like to have both.

I have achieved most of my dreams by grabbing them by the collar and declaring them mine. 


Now I would like to sit back and play a little game of serendipity and see if there’s something or someone out there who is predetermined to have a stamp that says “Audrey, I’m yours for the taking!”
