Fate In a Palm

Quite a few weeks back, a guy at work was talking about something that he believes in.

This guy makes life decisions based upon the lines in his palms.

Being the obsessive freak that I am...

I taught myself what every little line on the palm of your hand could possibly mean.

Then I read my own future.

As it turns out one of my two life lines was very short.

...and then I bugged out.

Above are the basic lines that supposedly predict your future.

According to Chinese palm readers, the right hand is for a woman and the left is for a man.

According to American palm readers, the left hand is the future you were born with and the right hand is what you made of your future.

Thank God for my short life line being on the left.  I really would've panicked if it was on the right!

After learning that my palm halfway predicted a short life, I freaked out.

I started peaking at peoples hand's at everyone opportunity that I got!

Even my baby Godson tugged my pants and showed me his hands!!  It was adorable.

The more hands I read, the more convinced I became that it was a definite outline of my future.

Then, my grandmother showed me her hands.

My nanny does not believe in this mumbo jumbo, and refused to show me her hands originally.

As she showed me her hands, relief finally came to me.

According to my grandmother's life line, she should have died around the age of 20.

My nanny is almost 70 and is very much alive!

Thanks to a short line indented into my grandmother's palm, my brain was finally at peace.

That's when i broke up with the palm reading like a real nasty boyfriend.

I'll never look back again.

From this point forward, I make my own future.

Grooves in a palm was a very silly thing to get worried over.

Has a silly thing ever frightened you?  How'd you get over it?
