Of Beauty and bullshit


Ok so I cheated and found this one from the internet. But it was an accident... and my camera is not working at the moment.
Anyway, I've been thinking about fortune and horoscopes and things of that nature. How much are these followed? Every morning, my roommate and I  read the same horoscope everyday. We even read them to our friends. Do any of us carry it with us throughout the day? I mean, I enjoy reading it when I wake up, hoping it will give me some insight into my day before I even get out of bed, but honestly I usually forget it as soon as my coffee starts brewing.
Are fortune cookies the same? Little slips of paper that you find at the bottom of your purse, shoved into your pocket, or just thrown in the trash. How long do we actually carry them with us? And should we at all?
I guess the big question is what does fate have to do with it? Like my last fortune- how was it that I got that on day one of the new year? Because of the obvious coincidence factor for that, it's something I think about a lot, especially when life starts to get a little crazy.

Maybe, like everything else in life, we only take parts- the important parts- with us. Which, in reality, is all we can do.
 ... or maybe we're all just full of shit.
