Facing Fate

[annabtg]

...And Fate laughed in my face, for I had dared make plans. "If you cannot control yourself," she scoffed, "how do you expect to control your destiny? Success is for those who have the strength to handle it, for those powerful enough to pursue their goals

Well... there's optimism for you. Some nice insight, though. I hope (despite the next, rather vague, entry) it does inspire you (as your mood claims). I hope you can rise above your disappointment and let your true self shine.

Mostly, I hope that whatever path you take, you find happiness along the way.

Thank you for commenting!

This piece was a strange one - it began with the first couple of lines, as a quote that randomly came to me, and then I felt like expanding it. My thoughts drove me to this, which is not really my POV on fate etc., but it seemed to work. What is true, though, is that I sometimes (often?) fear the "failure" part will come true.

Thanks for the good wishes. I hope you'll find all that's best in your life as well :)

Hugs,
Anna :)

But now I realized, she has not the power to help people succeed. Those who succeed do it on their own, no fatal interventions required.

absolutely true! and you really got me there. awesome weritting job! ;D

[annabtg]

Glad you think so! It's the first remotely literary piece I've written in a long while...

See ya,
Anna ♥

[cyad]

and YAY to you for doing it!

I wish I could resume writing but, aside lj, muse's dead, I'd say.

but your piece was absolutely fabulous, honest!

some more in store? If yes, lemme know! :)

[annabtg]

I sure will! :)

See ya,
Anna :)

Huh, what is it about?
Is it something that really happened, or just an imagined entry?
"failure is in the eye of the beholder" - so true.
I used to be a perfectionist, and probably still am. How we will feel afterwards depends just on how realistic our goals are :)

[annabtg]

It's... both. It's a piece of original writing, but stemming from thoughts I've had occasionally. They're not my outlook at fate and life, but sometimes, when you're contemplating life, various thoughts occur to you.

See ya,
Anna ♥
