I do not believe in fate. I believe that there is no inherently right way for my life to be, no one person who is ‘meant for me’. I believe no one can or should promise to do or be anything forever, and that anyone who does promise unconditionally that they will love you forever is naïve, shortsighted and unimaginative, or a liar (or all of the above). I know perfectly well that many of the reasons M & I work together are the result of lessons learned in past relationships, combined with the mellowing effects of time and age.
I believe all of these things are true.
And yet.
I want us to work because I’m special… not because we’re fated, but because we’re especially suitable. I don’t want to be in a bell curve, I want to be unique.
