Do you ever think that fate is "pushing back"?

Like some force is working against you? Maybe stopping you from doing something and you get the sense that life is doing this via some quite obvious clues?

Yes. Absolutely. And while we obviously don't want to use such explanations as an excuse, there's a lot of reason to believe "fate" exists, even though we can't have an objective enough overview to understand it.

I mean, consider all the identical twins separated at birth who wind up, fifty years later, meeting for the first time and it turns out they're living in the same bungalo in Antibes married to a woman with the same birthdays and with the same names, and using the same designer toothpaste from Hong Kong no one's ever heard of shipped in monthly.

I wonder about these twins who live separate but near identical lives. Are they subconsciously communicating with one another? Sharing their likes and dislikes?

Apparently it's a creepy, unfathomable blend of genetic fatedness and, I'm guessing, horoscopic configuration.

We'll just never know.

Like some force is working against you?

Every single dang day of my life. You would think I would just give up and accept my fate of being a screw up and never having or being anything more than today, but I'm stubborn and refuse to accept it. I just can't change it no matter what I do so constant anxiety and depression all day everyday.

I'm erasing you and I'm happy!

Keep fighting the good fight my friend!

You aren't alone with this Butterfly. I think the more you fight it, the worse it gets. I don't know the answer. Maybe put our faith in God.

In real life? No, not really. But I have dreams like this all the time.

Yes - a lot. I've discovered though that every time I fall down I realize I was a *beep* person when I was doing well. Then I improve and get up and then fall down again and realize there was something else about me that was bad, and on and on it goes.

Absolutely. In fact disturbingly so. My life seems to be a cycle of grand repeats and seemingly no ability to break the cycles.
