"Nothing is meant to be.
There is no predestination."
I was once told, "Beware all absolute statements," and the above seems a good example of that. Yet how refreshing to think that things so often can and do change in an instant--that any situation, having seemed inevitably one way before, can turn out so completely differently. The obvious example for me to draw on here is my longtime singleness itself, but there are many others less marked: my financial struggles, or more private, carnal ones. Change may happen slowly, but happen, it does, no matter how hard I work to resist. Once I let go of the idea that things must be a certain way no matter what, I am free.
