The Red String of Fate


There’s an old story in Chinese folklore about a magical connection between two people that are destined to be soul mates, called ‘the red string of fate’. The two people connected by the red thread are destined lovers, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. This magical cord may stretch or tangle, but never break. This myth is similar to the Western concept of soul-mates.

Do you ever wonder who is tied to the end of your thread?


Someone asked “What was the craziest thing you did for love?” Actually, I did a lot of crazy things but I don’t really think that I did it for someone I love, maybe someone very special. Someone who suddenly influenced and changed my views about being single. It is true that when you meet someone who ignites a spark in your heart you’ll do things you never thought you could. And I confess, I did things (crazy things) for that very special someone. 

But things has changed, both of us changed! Though I am still uncertain to what brought us to this situation, I know there is a big reason why happy ending isn't visible at the moment. It could be that it hasn't ended yet or we never really started a story more than "friends", and it was just all in my imagination that let him hold a big space in my heart for a long time. Probably the reason why I never glance to anyone, but as time goes by I learned how to get used of his absence. And I am now enjoying the thought of being happy even without him. Happiness comes when you let go of the thoughts that make you sad and opening your heart into something else. 

I feel really blessed now because someone just arrived (well not really) but he makes me feel tickled pink every time I see him or whenever I get a chance to have a conversation with him. I guess it all started when he suddenly appeared in my dream out of the blue. What the heck? How come? That was my reaction when I woke up from that dream initially until I get to know him each day. And just this night I dreamed of him again after two months or so, this time I whispered "I wish it was true." contradicting my initial reaction from the first dream I had about him.

Is he bound to replace someone else's throne in my castle? Or he is just part of the detours I'm about to take as I walk through finding that someone who is tied at the end of my thread? Who knows? There is SOMEONE up there who has the answer ^_^
