Some people in my lifes experiance say anything you do ,you do yourself ,?
Destiny - Some people say that we are in control of our own destiny , i believe rite up to my present day that we only have a small control over it ,and sometimes in some cases none at all ,{twist of fate , wrong place wrong time ,it can all change }.
Mine started out when i was a child {about a week old }when i was farmed out of a family of 6 brothers and sisters ,(whom ive never seen again , and peculiar as it may sound dont see a need to } and handed over to an Orphanage ,in my case Dr Bernados . What do i think? I think its just the way things are .
Luck {as some call it }
About 10 yrs ago i missed out on a win on the Lottery , same numbers every week , but didnt put the ticket on ,not a big win only 103k but enough to have a weekend away lol So what ,wasnt my time to win ,maybe iff i had ,maybe i wouldnt be here now enjoying what i do have .

Other bits and pieces , Had an accident in an Articulated Tanker ,carrying Volitile Chemicals {A Roll Over} about 15 yrs ago and walked away with a scratch on my leg .
Ive known others who unfortunately who have died in less .

this movie resides inside me and i have never forgotten it..
i'm also used to say to myself "au hasard balthasar" when i'm facing the events i, somewhat, dislike or i'm incertain of...
