Challenge: (Round 4 - Challenge 2): “Do you have faith in a higher power that guides your life? Fate, karma, god, anything?”
Word Count: 364
I’ve been asked on many an occasion whether I believe that there’s a higher power guiding my life. After giving this much thought, I’ve decided that yes, I do believe.
I believe that everything happens for a reason, as clichéd as it sounds. Fate guides you onto your destined path. It pushes you in the right direction. For me, that direction was in the way of Serenity, a Firefly-class spaceship with a crew of petty thieves.
It’s not where I’d have expected to end up and the company is somewhat different to what Companions of my standing are usually in the presence of, but now, Serenity is the one place that I can truly call home and the crew have become my family.
I believe that fate pushes you in the right direction and acts as a guide on the journey of your life. It’s always there to take you where you’re supposed to be, whether for good or for bad reasons. It’s the reason I am where I am and it’s the reason that I feel the way I do about a certain captain, as much as I hate to admit.
But you can’t rely on fate itself. To put your entire existence into the hands of fate would result in not living at all. That’s something that I’ve done for too long. I’ve been pushing away all of the signs and avoiding the inevitable. I’ve been denying what I feel and it’s taking its toll. It’s the reason I left Serenity in the first place.
I’ve had a lot of time to think about all of this and have asked myself many times why I force away fate with so much of my being. If I truly believed in fate, wouldn’t I embrace it with open arms?
My answer is simple: If I do let fate play out, it would result in loss of control and a true Companion never lets anything take away that very important mannerism. So, despite fully believing in fate, I leave it behind for all that are able to pursue it without fear and follow my path alone. Or maybe I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be.
