Dear friend,

Think of all the billions of doors you closed just to take one step; all the destinations you didn’t buy a ticket to; all the possible futures you narrowly avoided.

Everything you’ve sacrificed to get to now.

Isn’t it strange to think how different your life would be if fate just tipped you into some other course, surrounded by new friends, mentors and soulmates? Maybe you’d tell them that it was all meant to be; that you knew all along that your paths would cross. That there could be no other way.

We never know how many things had to happen just right for them to occur the way they did. Perhaps a nobody who passed you by is a soulmate who simply missed their cue; after all, your soulmates now were once unknown too. It’s hard not to glance at a stranger in the crowd and imagine the life you could’ve shared.

Maybe we’ll look back on our lives and realise that it was all just a great coincidence. It’s a big world, after all.

You never know.
