Question, "To what extent do we shape our own destiny, and how much is up to fate?"
Personally, I believe that is a 50/50 situation.
Say, if you wanted to be a photographer, you would make the decision to take the first step and fate would guide you to see which direction has more opportunities. You always have to trust your instincts.
Thank you for the question, if anyone needs any advice or just has any questions please feel free to send me more!

Some are from messages on here, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and SnapChat from people who read my discussions and are friends with me on other social media sites and know that I write on here.
The people who ask them are anonymous as requested.

@AnnaAutopsy OK, thanks for answering
I just wondered as I see posts answering questions but don't see the ones asking the questions.

@Mike197602 Yeah, I know. I see how that could be confusing. Lol. I'm sorry about that. Quick question, how do you make those faces??? I have been on here for a while but I just can't figure that out!

I think that we can control our life but not fully. It is still God who knows what our destiny will be. In my life, I have never thought that I will have a boyfriend from a country which I did not like before. I told myself I would never fall in love with Koreans but it did not happen. I fell in love with a Korean man.

@AnnaAutopsy Yes, it is. I told it as well to my boyfriend and he was amazed, I was just brainwashed by other people's experiences with Koreans. That was why I made a hasty generalization about them. I learned my lesson now.

@annierose That's completely understandable. A lot of people generalize them into a group of negative views. I'm glad that you were able to see different, because not a lot of people will.

Funny, I don't believe in fate doing anything one way or the other. I think that decision would be a choice, made based on preference.

Question, "To what extent do we shape our own destiny, and how much is up to fate?"
I have attempted here to answer your question poetically:
Poetry: The emptiness of nothing. Fate, destiny, or something else?
I sat doing nothing much today really, really bored, feeling so ignored.
A certain unequivocal emptiness opened up its chord, without no accord.
Was it part of my destiny, or was it a part of my fate, or was it just my reward?
Too late. I never realised life’s not poured, nor stored. It must be explored!
Fate arrives at destiny’s back door, but destiny’s left through the front.
Fate chases destiny, but it can never quite catch it up to confront with it.
Life is met not by destiny, nor determined by fate, but lives in you alive,
when you live in it from the silence of truth, silently making your own record.
Do we choose our own path then, or does our path choose us?
Is it fated to happen to us, do we have some ultimate destiny?
Perhaps finding God is the true destiny of us all in this life,
but our fate is determined by ourselves, depending on our faith!
