Bad Intentions

One of my favorite books of all time is The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. In it, there's a passage that says "...at a certain point in out lives, we lose control of what's happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate. That's the world's greatest lie." When I first read the book, I thought that makes sense because I liked to believe that we can control our lives and achieve our goals if only we work hard enough. However, recently I am not so sure anymore. Is that really the world's greatest lie? Now, I believe that somehow fate does have a say. We may work hard...really hard....but if it's not meant to be then what can we do? Maybe, the universe cannot really conspire in helping us achieve what we want. Maybe it can only conspire to help us achieve the little things like your friend being able to see you after months of separation. If that's the case then I'll take what I can get.

Like I said, after months of separation, it's time to finally head to Taiwan to see one of my very best. To say that I was mad excited for this trip is an understatement. I packed a whole week before my flight and I even got to the airport 3 ours before my flight even though I live close to the airport. As soon as I arrived to see her, we didn't waste any time catching up and doing what we do best which is eat and take photos (well more her than I...I'm not very good compared to her).

Seeing as it was my first time in Taiwan, it really helped to have her there with me. She knew the language and her family really made me feel like I was part of them. They are some of the nicest people I have meet and I really am glad she is one of my best!
