And I call it Destiny

I was standing at a corner of a shopping mall flooded by hundreds of people last Friday and suddenly something strike my mind. I was thinking about destiny. We met many people in our life, some stay and some left. What make certain people to remain in our life while some just left a little dot that you could not even recalled. Well, I call this ‘destiny’.

In my life, I am lucky to meet many people – good and bad. I believe God sent me many random people – or I called them‘my angels’, especially during my downturn in life to assist me. Most of these ‘angels’ left my life after they completed their ‘assignments’, I thought. Whenever I thought about how these random people who did good in my life had left me, I wonder why. While, others who you hope that will disappear in your life will never did. ‘Destiny’, I think is something that is unexplainable.

Today, my former editor called me and told me that he is getting married with a girl he is dating for the last one year. I believe he dated some other girls longer than that. Again, destiny is funny. Time never can determine whether a person will be your life partner or not. Some dated a same person for years, but have to go on separate ways, while others, dated less than a year but spend the rest of their life together.

The word ‘destiny’ just gives me such a strong feeling for the past few days. It makes me want to appreciate everyone in my life and may I say that it also gives me the courage to go for something that I’m not sure of – because no one can explain ‘destiny’. 

I met Gabriele last year and now we are talking about moving in together. Uncertainty and doubt are surrounded us for the last few months. Neither of us can be sure if we will be the right person for each other. But one thing - the strong feeling between us is real, I am almost certain.

I have been wandering around waiting for my Mr Right, but none fulfilled the vacancy. I’m not sure if I have fulfilled the vacancy in my heart, but I hope that I did. I met him unexpectedly and had wonderful time together. I’m not sure what the future is like for us, but to meet him I believe it is already a ‘destiny’ and I want to appreciate this opportunity given by God to us.

 So, appreciate the people around you because it is destiny for you to meet them in your life ^^
