My life was meant to end in tragedy.

Everyone is born with a red string.

It guides them to their soulmate, it's something magical, but there are rare occasions were people are unable to see or simply do not have a red string connection.

I was one of those occurrences, it's not often this happens but it does happen.

Everyone can see their string when they're young, it's intangible for the most part, specially to other people, and can only be seen when you're heart beat accelerates or happy emotions are going through your body. It's an interesting thing to see.
Having a string makes life way easier, people don't hesitate to marry once they find the other end, as they are destined to be.

The red string is not unbreakable, in fact it is quite fragile, all it takes is a heartbreak, or your partner's death. It is a painful thing to experience, I've been told it's like ripping your heart out of your own chest.

People are lucky to have a connection and true meaning waiting for them the moment they are born, it is something beautiful. That unfortunately I will not be able to experience.

I was born without a string.

My mother and father have told me that it could mean my partner hasn't been born yet, but the older I get the more I worry.

There are people that still find love despite what their string has brought them, which still gives me hope, yet some of those relationships are more common to end.
My parents married despite their strings were not connected, they had me and my brother, we were happy until my mother found her real string mate.

In a world were every love story was written before you were born, what is my fate?
