    1. an aptitude for making desirable discoveries by accident.

    The concept of serendipity isn’t hard for me to grasp. Good things happen to us unexpectedly all the time. Fate, however, I do not believe in. I don’t think we are destined to be with anyone. We meet people accidentally and fall in love. I think it’s better that way. I can’t stress the importance of saying what you feel! Don’t think for one moment that can let someone walk out of your life because fate will reunite you two back together. Never leave anything up to fate. Love happens, if you let it happen.
