Have you ever heard of the legend of the red string? Imagine your body is transparent. You will see that your whole body is connected by your blood vessels. They transport blood from your heart to all your body parts. They are so thin like strings. Since they carry blood, hence the red string. Did you know that there is a special connection between your heart and your pinky finger? The reason why we use our pinky to make promises is because of this special connection. The red string starts from our heart and just doesn't end at the tip of our finger. The legend says that the red string continues but it becomes invisible outside our body. It is connected to the person we are destined to meet, our soulmate. No matter how far he or she is or how your life circumstances differ sooner or later, the string of fate will lead you to him or her. When that happens, both of your lives will change. The string may stretch and be tangled, which may postpone the fateful meeting but never will they ever be broken. We might not realize it but we are all connected, guided by invisible strings that are woven into the fabric of universe itself. We will meet others as we unravel our tangled strings and the red thread that connecting us to our distant soul-mates is getting shorter. Our world has its share of obstacles, but nothing in it happens by accident.
