Life is long and full of an infinite number of decisions. I have to think that the small ones don't matter, that I'll end up where I need to end up no matter what I do.

If everything that happens in the world is just a result of chance and there's no rhyme or reason to any of it, that's just too chaotic for me to handle. I'd have to go around questioning every decision I've ever made, every decision I will ever make. If our fate is determined with every step we take… it's too exhausting. I'd prefer to believe that things happen as they are meant to happen.
