Recently, I've realised that so many things come down to chance. Once you start thinking about it, you start to notice just how much of your life is down to pure chance.
I guess it all started when I was thinking about Universities (inevitably) and how by picking your five choices - you are already limiting the people you'll meet in the future. It's crazy really. Even the friendships I have now are somewhat random. It's partly chance that you happened to be in the same country, in the same town, at the same time - perhaps even the same age if you're talking about friends you make at school. If I'd been in a different year group or brought up in a different county, I wouldn't have half the friends I have right now... I'd have different ones.
I think that we generally like to think we have an aspect of control over our lives, but really although we make some of the decisions - such as which five Uni's to put down, many things are just chance and we have little say in them. We can't possibly know for certain what the future will hold and in a way, I kinda like that.
