Do You Believe in Fate?

I found it an unbelievably difficult question to answer. Part of me doesn't want to believe in fate, but another part of me wants to believe that all of that artistic unity in the book of life wasn't there for naught. But do we really have to unknowingly cross paths with someone before we're destined to meet this other person or be with them face to face? Or does fate explain things that happened out of control but into favor?

I still can't answer this question. But I'll be real, so no. I don't want to believe in it so much that I can think that idleness and sitting on my rear end will bring me that ideal future. I believe that our future is what we make of it. I can dream about that one day when that ideal guy and I will finally be attracted to each other, but I won't think that he'll just come to me when I'm doing nothing. I've got to sit down next to him, I've got to find out how he sees the world, and I've got to let him want to share his life with me. In all of this, will I believe that it was fate that brought us together? Maybe, maybe not.
