Fate in friendships

Some people live in the same area but have never met.
Some people go to churches that are located in the same area but have never met.
Some people study at the same uni but have never met.
Some people have many mutual friends but have never met.

Too many times we walk out of a room, only does another person walk in.
You never get to meet that person.

Then fate comes in.

Maybe you've forgotten to take a notebook, so you head back into the room and there you two bump into each other. You exchange "Hello"s and notice how weird things tend to happen around.

Fate lets you meet the people you meet, and if two people aren't fated to meet, no matter how much they have in common, they'll never know of each other's existences.

The people you come across in life are weird stories to be told.
Imagine in another universe, where you take another route in life, that maybe you didn't head back to take your notebook, or that you had never left your notebook in the first place. You and that specific person would have never met. Instead, by walking out that door and continuing your way on the streets, you might just bump into someone else, and that's where you exchange "Hello"s and meet a new friend.

It's funny how fate works.

And it's funny that this mind of mine tends to always think of endless possibilities that could have happened if I had chosen another path. Life would be so different. Life may be better then, but this life is definitely good enough for me, and there's nothing I would exchange for another path to not meeting the people I have met today :)
