I never did.

In my early adult years, I decided to remain single for the remainder of my life due to health issues (which are now taken care of). I wasn't even looking for a relationship. One day I passed a vehicle on the road and noticed my sticker on the car (I'm a local influencer). I looked the person up and we eventually became friends and started hiking together. We eventually started dating and 3-years later, we now live together. I'm madly in love with her and couldn't see myself without her.

Destiny?

Has something like this ever happened to you?
 
No. I don't believe in destiny as it is a fictional and religious concept. Its most often based on peak experiences.

Peak experiences are often described as transcendent moments of pure joy and elation. These are moments that stand out from everyday events. The memory of such events is lasting and people often liken them to a spiritual experience
 
If there is destiny, got to fear the forces at work that allow it to happen in the chaos of this world.
 
No , there is no such thing as destiny or fate. It is just an excuse people believe when their action results in an unfavorable outcome.

I believe that whatever happens in life is the result of collective actions of every person.
 
I believe in fate. E.g. I believe some people are fated to do great things.
 
I want to believe in it, but I don't. I like the concept, but if I let myself believe in it I wouldn't take any responsibility my actions. But thats just me.

I'm thinking that we're all going to die someday. I suppose there's a form of destiny in that.
 
I do not believe it yet because I have not found my destiny. I am not closing my door with such an idea, though.
