A Twist of Fate
I've never understood it, but one word can completely change a situation (or warp it). For some, one word makes outcomes become switchable, actions seem tangible, and motives logical. Maybe cinema is the one to blame, where hours are stressed to come up with that one heart-throbbing phrase. I think people blur the line between fantasy and reality. I think people expect too much. Not all humans are created equal. Our differences are what make our species unique. Some stay focus, while some digress. Some talk fast and on-queue, and other's best ideas are moments behind their time. It's the total package that should matter, not the wrapping paper. Don’t fall in love with someone by the twist of their tongue; fall in love with someone by the sum of their parts.
