Human Error.

Do you ever feel like you belonged somewhere else? I'm not talking about the whiny stuff people say in high school and such about not fitting in. I'm talking about how you feel as if you would have belonged better in a different era or country.

I believe in a thing called fate. I don't have a view on religion, so I don't believe in "God's work" or whatever it's called, but I do believe that things happen for a reason. But I also believe in a little concept known as human error which screws up what fate should have done. I believe in souls and the idea of reincarnation. I think people who feel like they were born in the wrong time period feel that way because they are so attached to a previous life. Like myself. I feel more comfortable thinking of myself living in the late 18th century. In England, to be precise. And yes, I wholeheartedly believe that I was probably there in a past life.

In this life, I'm not sure what to think. I would like to say that my birth was a bit of a mistake, but I honestly don't think it is. Had my life not turned out the way it has, I never would have met Olivia. She is, most undoubtedly, the one person in the entire world who somehow understands me. We're best friends. We're soul sisters and I want to believe that had I been born in a different fashion, fate would have still brought us together, but I'm not sure. In my current life, I went through so much shit to meet her. I moved countries. I lost my parents. I dealt with switching between three high schools. But I wouldn't give any of it up if it meant not being able to meet her.

So maybe fate understands human error. Maybe when people screw up their lives, fate does everything it can to bring us back on course. I'm not saying it always succeeds, but I think it tries its best.
