Description
This book explores how chance encounters can unexpectedly resurface and alter our destinies. We cross paths with someone, separate, and assume it a fleeting meeting. Yet fate has other plans - bringing us back together again so that, in time, dreams, love, and hope may blossom fully between us. But just as unexpectedly, everything can come crashing down.
Through one such encounter, this narrative teaches profound lessons about disappointment, loneliness even in a crowd, and the perplexing nearness yet farness of getting all we want, save what we most desire. We learn that estrangement stems less from distance than the absence of a loved one beside us. The warmth of family in childhood, once lost, can never be reclaimed.
Life's path holds no assurances of comfort or safety. Our parents, the shield protecting us in innocence, leave us bereft in adulthood - forcing us to forge our own protections against callous winds. And our poor choices yield consequences, no matter how hard we try dodging them. We must find strength within, not in expectations of others.
For in the end, our happiness rests inside us alone. Through eloquent prose emerges the bittersweet truth: people may unexpectedly shape our destinies, but destiny lies not in others, but within ourselves.
