Is it Destiny?


One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it.

Destiny is defined as a pre-determined course of events. I often dwell on this more often than I should. I think about the road that I have taken and whether or not there is a pre-determined course of events or plan that is unfolding.

I thought that by now I would be on my way to marriage I would be realizing my dream of Getting my PhD in Biomedical Engineering and be so far away from Gainesville Florida that I would miss it. It seems that that was not the plan.

I'm nowhere near marriage, I'm working on a 2nd Bachelor's degree this time in Civil Engineering and I still Live in Gainesville, Florida.

But this leads me to several conversations I have had over the past 10 years both with myself and others that lead me to believe that it was part of my destiny to be where I am.

My dad told me to switch to civil engineering 6 years ago when I decided that I didn't want to be a doctor, he told me it was a good back up plan..what did i do? I didn't listen. 5 years after that I entered UF for the second time to work on a degree in what? that's right Civil Engineering. I'm doing decently in it and I like it much better than Biological Engineering. But was it my destiny?

Also as for Marriage, In high school I never thought I would get married until I was at least 28 so now what's the rush? I don't
know
So once again this quote One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it. tends to explain it all. I avoid my destiny but I meet it anyways. But somehow I can't wait to see what the future holds.
