Is it just a coincidence?

Is it fate or is it just a coincidence? Weird things happen throughout your lifetime. Usually we tend to just dismiss it and keep moving. But every now and then when something happens, down the road you realize that it was destined to have happened. You realize that if it hadn't happened you wouldn't have gotten where you are. It didn't seem like a big deal when it happened but it turned out to be very significant in your life's journey. Can you imagine just how many "coincidence's" that had to happen to lead you to where you are today? All your experiences in life is what made you who you are today. The good and the bad, the happy and the sad, it was your journey. Everything happens for a reason even if you never know what the reason was. Sometimes you were part of someone else's "coincidence" to get them where they needed to be. A "coincidence" that was necessary, I call that fate.
