My smile falters as the next thought lands in my brain. "Not to sound dismal or anything, but I think you're lucky your parents let you pursue your own dreams." I tell him, truthfully. "These kind of things do not exist in my realm."
He snorts at my words, but speaks before I get offended. "Trust me, mine is no different than yours. My whole life has been planned out before I was even brought to life.
"Where I'll study, who I'll be friends with, what my career will be, and even who I'll end up spending the rest of my days with." I listen, and get the feeling that if someone decides to write my biography when I'm dead, these exact lines would be the description on the back.

You think that life is a cycle? I know some of you would say 'Just because everything is changing, doesn't mean it has never been this way before' but this isn't Narnia we are talking about.
