When I was younger, I promised myself that I would buy myself a Gucci purse when I got my first "grown up" job. When I got my first paycheck at my first "real" job out of college, it wasn't my first priority so I decided that I would wait until later on in my life to splurge on myself.
Two weeks ago, I happen to check out the Gucci website and there was a sale. The purse I have had my eye on was on sale. I decided to go to the store with my friend to pick it up since it's rare such a classic bag goes on sale. Before we went, I called the store to see if they have it. They said they only had one and someone was coming in to pick it up. They recommended me to call other stores since it was sold out online. I called multiple locations and no one had the bag in the brown trim that I wanted. I chalked it up to faith that it wasn't meant to be.
I told myself that this was better for my bank account and forgot about it. Couple days later I thought to myself that I would check one more time and know for sure it wasn't meant to be. I went online and checked the sale page. The same bag was on sale but a new color trimming, beige/gold, was added to the sale! I love this color better then the original brown I had my eye on! I called the store again to see if they had it but they said no but since it was online, I immediately ordered it.
This might not seem like a big deal to people but I am in awe every time I think about it. I would have been happy with the brown trim but the gold trim has always been my thing! This might not seem like a big deal to some but this just reminds me all over again that things happen for a reason. If something is meant to happen, it will happen. My boss reminds me all the time I am here because I was meant to be here in this moment of time. I didn't get the bag this first time because I was meant to get the one I would really love. It amazes me all over again how fate works....
