I Get It! I Get It!

I don't eat Chinese a lot, but I always make a point to eat a fortune cookie after the meal. Three or four years ago, I cracked open a cookie and out popped the following message:

"You will make many changes before settling satisfactorily."

I was just coming around to the idea of being trans, and words like these were momentous. I pinned the fortune to a bulletin board in my apartment.

This afternoon, we had Chinese takeout for the first time in a couple of months. I opened my fortune cookie, and what was printed on the fortune cookie, but the exact same message. If I believed in a higher power, I'd wonder if they were trying to get me back on track. If that were the case, I'd tell them, "I'm working on it. Now leave me alone."

  1. How many different fortunes are available? If it was say ten I think the result would be 10x10. I like Chinese so I would just have another meal and see what happens. At worst you have another good meal and you already have two encouragements.
