Destiny is for Losers
Destiny is for losers. If I have a destiny, I don't want it. Those three fates knitting my woolen socks of death should leave me alone and go knit someone else's mittens of doom instead. What if I don't want my life to be a pair of socks? What if I want it to be a woolen scarf or a beanie or something instead? What say do three old ladies working a spinning wheel have on my life anyway?
Honestly, I think destiny is just some bored middle- aged Netflix addict who wants to meddle with our lives and shape them into something sit-com worthy. I mean, it has to get boring sitting there moving people's fates around all day. At least humanity has some entertainment value. But instead of messing with other people, maybe Destiny can go get a life instead.
So Miss Destiny, please leave me alone. You're infringing on my constitutional rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I deserve to have a life without you poking your pretty head in at every available opportunity. If I'm having a bad day, that's my choice, and if I'm having a good day, that's also my choice, not because I was DESTINED to have one. So please,keep your hands off my life, because I am most certainly not throwing my cards at you.
