I always think about how we know two souls are already tied since the beginning of time, only waiting for the right time to meet. The red string theory said something similar -- where lovers are connected, by a red string and they are destined to be together. The string can be stretched, tangled, knotted and revolving around wrong person or timing and even circumstances but it will never be broken or amiss. It always connect two people who are meant to meet.
But truth to be told, I haven't seen this kind of clear, cosmic connection in my life yet. I have seen in small doses, yes. If my parents had not met they way they did, I believe they still would've met each other as my Aunt (my mom's sister) married my dad's housemate. Or if my sister hadn't met my brother in law the way she did, she probably would be connected to him anyway because his relatives live 5 mins away from our neighborhood and my Aunt worked with his Aunt.
"What a small world!" is one of my favorite lines of all and I love it when I find out I share mutual friends with somebody. It's interesting to see how we are all connected, how our lives tangled. Every step I take, I know I am inching closer to the one my own red string is tied to. Some times I do wonder - to who would this man be connect to?
I would link this with the fact that we are only 3-4 degrees of separation with each other. Did you know that? For all you know, you are only 4 acquaintances away from Barack Obama. As absurd as that sounds, we are closer to each other than you think. That is another theory that blew my mind the moment I learnt about it.
I'd love more ideas/questions and feedback is very much encouraged too! Drop yours here.
