"An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but it will never break."


When i was little, my parents worked a lot, so my grandma was the one that took care of me most of the time. doing that, she would used to tell me all these stories. one of them i recently came upon again, and it was the story of the "red string of fate".

The story goes, from the very beginning, two people are destined to be together, and for their whole lives, they are bound together by an invisible red thread. No matter what happens through life, they will always be brought together by the thread. it's a bit corny, but i actually called her up again to ask her to tell me this story again haha. guess something i'm more comfortable to do with my grandma than my own parents lol.

My grandma told me that the story took place with a young boy walking along a field, when he meets a stranger. The stranger tells the boy that everyone is bound to the one person they will spend their life together with, and shows the boy the girl that is bound to him by the thread. the boy, being young and not believing in love decided to prove the man wrong, and threw a rock at the girl. Years later, the boys parents planned an arranged marriage for him. He meets his wife, with her face being covered by a veil, and as she lifts it up, he sees a scar that was on her forehead. the boy asked her how she got the scar, and she replied "when i was little, as i was working in a field, some boy threw a rock at me, and it left me this scar". The truth was, the boys bride, was the same girl who he threw the rock at years ago.

idk with a lot of things happening lately, this story keeps being retold in my head. Too bad the string is invisible, cuz i'd sure love to know who i'm being tied to lol.
