For the most part, I believe that everything happens for a reason, even if you don't know what it is. There are a lot of things in my past that I've wondered about..what if I had taken that internship in London or what if I didn't go to business school and taken the job? Who knows where I would be if I had lived in London for a year? Who knows where I would be if I decided to turn left instead of right, or taken a different bus?
I always think about the movie, "Sliding Doors" with Gwenyth Paltrow. In the movie, they show two scenarios, one where she misses the train and the other where she makes it. When she makes the train, she comes home to discover that her boyfriend is cheating on her. This leads her to meet another guy who she falls in love with but in the end she dies. However in the other scenario, the actual life scenario, she ends up catching her boyfriend cheating later and ends up meeting that guy anyways. So I always wonder, what things are supposed to happen? Do I just trust fate that things will take its course?
I know now that going to business school led me to make some really awesome friends and helped me to get a job here in Sydney and enabled me to move halfway around the world. This also gave me the opportunity to meet some great people and visit some amazing places and I've been able to spend time with my cousins and family here in Sydney, which I would never trade for anything. Still wonder what life has in store for me and when I will see why fate brought me to Sydney.
Not sure why I am philosophizing, could be that I'll be turning 30 soon and starting to freak out a bit. Haha..
