You know that thing people say about how being scared of something somehow brings it your way? I've always brushed it off as one of those myths people repeat. That was until I experienced something yesterday 

Yesterday, I attended my roommate's department fresher's event. At some point, they announced a game session, and immediately I heard the rules for one particular game, my heart started racing. I was genuinely scared, in fact, I almost stood up to leave.

My roommate laughed and said, "Calm down, look around. This hall is filled with so many people, the chances of it getting to you are very slim."

That sounded reasonable, so I sat back down, well, you can already guess what happened.

Out of everyone in that hall, the game found its way to my side.

I was so annoyed ehn, but according to my roommate, my fear was the reason it happened. She insisted I somehow "attracted" it by worrying so much.

Now, I don't know if that's true.

Was it simply coincidence? Pure luck? Or does fear somehow make us notice, or even walk into the very things we're trying so hard to avoid?

Dearest reader, but what if fear doesn't change the odds at all, maybe it only changes us. It makes us hyper aware, influences our decisions, and sometimes even pushes us into the exact situations we're trying to escape.

What do you think?

Does fear have a way of drawing our worst case scenarios closer, or are we simply giving meaning to coincidences after they happen?

I'd really love to hear your thoughts.
