When I Realized My Destiny: Personal Narrative Essay

Life is not easy. It can be so peculiar and different that it forces people to radically change. It was so in my case.

I started my journey in school. Unaware of what I was doing. Just going with the flow. Making my senses happy. I did everything so that made my senses happy. This is what we do our whole life. Scrolling through Instagram, YouTube is all part of the big trick that our brain plays with us. The game title is dopamine. For example, it could be sex and food; sex is more enjoyable than eating food because of the difference in dopamine we get from them. At school, I didn’t know about destiny and its paths, I just enjoyed life. I was so much free from tension. So much happy.

Now it’s the opposite with me. I grew up. So, tension, career, life – everything starts to make sense. I need to think about the future. Now I am no longer free from tension. How radically everything has changed. Unaware of my ways during my school years, when I woke up one day and saw life after leaving school, I saw the real world far ahead of me. People follow their destiny, work towards goals, study at good universities, do something worth remembering. But I didn’t do anything worth remembering. So, I realized it was time to start. Then life came in and it made me realize my passion for engineering. It showed me the way. I started walking on my path and I am still walking towards my destiny. After a long time of walking, I now seem to see my goal. I see my destiny. I know my path for sure.

There are many people who do not believe in destiny. I used to be one of those people. But now everything has changed. We just have to stop and think about how we got here. Why are we here and not somewhere else? In high school, we choose our life path and our career. But are we ready to make a choice at this time, because we are only 15-16 years old. Are we ready for such important decisions? This question often worries young people, because there is always a fear of making the wrong decision. But I think we should remember one important thing. Everything will always be as it should be. Things will always go best with us. Destiny fixes everything. It takes us where we are now. Destiny changed me. Life changed me. From my personal example, I can guarantee that it can also change everyone and make them more attractive. We just have to believe in our destiny and follow the paths it has prepared for us.

Maybe Destiny Exists After All: Persuasive Essay

There are times in life where I am sure destiny exists. For thousands of years people have been questioning the reason of things being the way they. For example, Christianism has been attributing life and it´s beauties to a single deity. On the other hand, scientists say there isn’t a single cause to all things, like God, but a series of different explanations to each phenomenon, which by the way, can be proved. As we can see there are different approaches to the matter. I really don’t know which one to believe but as I said, I have been through things that make me doubt coincidences exist, such as the rare first encounter I had with the person who is now my best friend.

I met her on the second year of elementary school. Back then, we were very young and immature to realize we would really get along if we spoke to each other and how much we had in common. When I first met her, I didn’t like her so much. She appeared to be a little rude and unpleasant. Later, I learnt that she was just a bit timid, and I suppose I was too. I never imagined the person I was about to meet would change my life such as she did.

We had classes all our classes together, so it was just a matter of time that we spoke to each other. It all started when she made a joke. Although I don’t even remember what the joke was about, I do remember that it was funny enough to get me hung up on her. Now that I knew she was funny, I wouldn’t hesitate to go and talk to her. I started a conversation between the two of us and that is how it all started. We became inseparable ever since.

As she started to gain my blind-folded trust, our love and affection for each other began to grow. I got to know her for who she really is. As I said, first I thought she was arrogant, but as she grew on me, I realized she is one of the most humble people I know. Moreover, she is the funniest human alive. Although we obviously have differences, I think that only brings us closer because instead of judging us for our flaws and differences, we accept and love each other for them.

In conclusion, I don’t know who to thank for meeting her. I don’t even know if it was a coincidence but certainly this is one of those events that made me doubt about the existence of destiny. Since we met each other, we have been inseparable. Before I met her, I needed someone who I could trust and laugh with. Whomever I have to thank for this? Maybe this is a gift of destiny after all.
