Day 19: Why Is Knowing Our Future Before It Happens Appealing?

I have to share a dirty little secret... I still do BuzzFeed quizzes from time-to-time. I don't know why I find these weird random quizzes entertaining, but I do. Apparently I'm going to get married next month, I have also been told I will be a writer, a journalist, and a fashion designer (Imagine that/ all things I aspire to be). Some of the answers you get are absolutely absurd. However, there can be a lot or a little truth in your answers which will make you addicted.

The snapshot below is a quiz I just did telling me what I would be if I was in a circus. Random, but interesting. I went to a camp one time for 8th grade graduation (no I was not one of those kids that went to camp every summer, I wish.) At this camp, it was pretty amazing, they had a bunch of different things to do. They had the

thing where people pull a rope and two people are going up and then you pull the lever and you slingshot and go swinging. I don't know what it's called but they have huge ones at amusement parks. Anyway, that was fun even though I was scared to death and was frozen in place for a while. Then they had that stuff where you climb up the trees to get to basically an obstacle course in the air. It looked fun, so I climbed up the tree then I took one step onto the wobbly wooden plank and I was frozen again. The thing is my dad is severely afraid of heights. I never really thought I was, and I don't think I fully am, but when I get to a certain height it's like my brain says, "Let's show Kailee 100 ways she could die now." This also happened to me when I went up to the CN Tower, and I looked straight down to the ground through the glass floor. I literally was frozen in place thinking about my death, and my sister had to shake me and tell me not to look down. Thus, I don't know how I would ever be a Tight-Rope-Walker. I think about the people that walked across Niagara Falls often. I don't get the appeal. But, maybe that's what they live for, a rush, a stunt.


When I visit BuzzFeed, I tend to go for the quizzes about love. I guess the appeal is, I love love, and have never had it myself. I like the idea that a weird quiz could give me the answers I'm looking for, basically, that I'm not going to die alone with my cats. Though, I actually have taken one quiz that told me just that would happen to me, that I'm not the person to have a relationship. HOW DARE. In life, I think all we need is validation. We don't always want to ask people around us, "Do you think I will die alone with twenty cats?" Thus, turning to an anonymous, not always factual source can help.


This makes me think of fortune tellers, people go to them because they crave the knowledge of what their future holds. This is against most religions, as only God is supposed to hold our futures. Nevertheless, people go, and it's entertaining. I have never gone before, which is not to say that I never will. Also, because I have belief in God, does not mean that I don't believe in beings that also hold powers on earth. My mom and sister have gone to fortune tellers a couple times. They both had some things come true from their readings. Though there were some things that were a little far-fetched. The point is, they were so excited that they were in on a secret not everyone was in on, they knew a piece of their future.


Personally, as much as I would love to know who my soulmate is, I don't know if I could handle knowing. Like imagine you're single and now you have this image in your mind of who this person is, whether it's descriptive personality details, a name, or the way the person looks. It just would be weird, you would be looking for this person, and not living life with other possibilities. Also, if you already have a person whom you believe is your soulmate, but they're nothing like what you learned from the psychic. Welp.


There's this thing I heard about. For some reason I can't remember where it was advertised. I feel like I saw it on the news, but it could have been in my dreams I'm not sure. However, when I googled it, it's a legit thing. They say his name is Master Wu. All I remember is that there's an old man, and since he was a little boy he has had psychic abilities. He is able to draw people's soulmates, and has a real talent. It sounds insane, but it's actually accurate. Here's one below:

As much as I don't want to know about my future before it happens, I feel like if I ran into Master Wu in the streets It would be rude if I didn't ask him to draw my soulmate. Like, a talent like that, how can I say no? But seriously though, I'm all about living in the moment. Letting life happen. Yes, I daydream about how I want my life to be, but I want my future to happen naturally not be predicted. Though, Master Wu, if you're reading this, hit me up.


Thanks for reading folks.
