Jazz is what I consider one of the most expressive genres of music. Sometimes, it carries a fast-paced tempo, yet the music can be sad, and a tad mocking. It can also be slow, conveying curiosity, feelings of anticipation, of wondering what's going to happen next. At times, it may sound like pure rubbish, making no sense at all.

Sort of like life, don't you think?

I'm sure the concept of fate has been debated ad-nauseam, but I just can't help wondering; how much of fate decides who we are? It's just a little strange knowing that our lives are already written the moment we are born, that we are destined to work a certain job, to love certain people, to live a certain life. Sounds to me like some freaky sci-fi projection of the distant future, or perhaps it's how fortune tellers predict fortunes.

In that case, how do we defy fate? Or is there really no way to escape fate, because it is fated that no matter what we do, we do it because of fate.

This discussion is either getting nonsensical, or too confusing for me to comprehend. Someone understands, but apparently it isn't me.

I just hope I'm doing the right thing.
