D3: Questioning Destiny

What does it even mean to have a destiny?

There have been times I've believed wholeheartedly that certain things were meant to be: my time in Provincetown, writing my novel, finding Matt.

More often than not, however, destiny - the sense of utter and complete proper fit - is elusive and exasperating. If there are all these things I'm supposed to be, then why am I here, working like a madman in support of someone else's dream?

I admit that I am one of the lucky ones. I actually DO care about the work that I do. But if my destiny is to be an oft-vacationing novelist, I'm clearly mighty far from hitting the mark.
