the future is mine

Today I got dinner at Panda Express, and in my fortune cookie, there was no fortune. The first thing I thought was, “this can’t be good,” but that would mean that I relied on words typed on paper slipped inside a cookie to direct my life.

Just out of curiosity, I googled ‘no fortune in my fortune cookie’ and I received some interesting responses, the most interesting being
‘the future is mine to create.’


Which is true. I knew it anyway, but it was good to remind myself:
The future is mine to create!
