Fate....?

Dear Diary,

These past few weeks, I've been having some weird thoughts again. So, I thought I should write them down… maybe that will help clear things up.

What is fate?

I asked Mom, and she told me fate is "the will by which things come to be as they are, or events to happen as they do." It's this mysterious power that controls everything, a force that decides what happens in ways we can't prevent or change. But… what really is fate?

What truly is destiny?

Some say destiny is not a matter of chance but a matter of choice; it's not something you wait for but something you strive for. Yet… is that really true? Or is it just wishful thinking? I wonder if I'll ever find the answer. But… deep down, I feel there's more to it than we've been told. Something beyond what we're meant to understand.
