Serendipity.

Serendipity means a 'fortunate happenstance' or 'pleasant surprise'. To me, serendipity is a wonderful and intriguing word, possibly one of the most beautiful in the English language. Until recently I didn't know what serendipity meant. Yes, I have been to the dessert restaurant in New York but I was never curious enough to look into the meaning of the word.

I think that most of our lives are made up of serendipity. When you think about all of the amazing things that have happened to you, you didn't expect any of it. It was complete luck, or maybe fate, or maybe destiny. Or maybe it was a combination of all three.

I like to think that there is a plan for all of us. Yes, we get to make our own decisions but there is something bigger than us giving us signs, pointing us in the right direction so that one day we will be brought to a special someone who makes us whole. Now I'm not saying that we can't be whole on our own but doesn't everyone want to find that special companion to tackle the ups and downs of life with?

The movie Serendipity goes into the idea of fate and destiny a lot and I couldn't agree with it more. To me, the movie proved that if it's meant to happen, it will happen. It just takes time. Maybe you're not ready for a boyfriend right now or maybe you aren't ready for that job just yet. Whatever it may be in your life just remember that something good will come to you just when you stop looking for it. And that's serendipity.

P.S. Serendipity is a great movie! I definitely recommend giving it a watch. I would rate it 9.5/10 :)
