These things are a staple of Chinese food in the United States. I'm not sure what it's actually like in China, but we sure as fuck have come to associate these things with every meal at a Chinese restaurant. It's always the conclusion to the meal.

My question is...the fortunes. Now normally, most companies that make these are simply putting cute, obscure Chinese proverbs on them now along with some lucky numbers...but have you ever had one that just...REALLY hit close to home? Like...that was so appropriate to the situation and the moment you were living in that it was like being grabbed by the shirt and slammed into a brick wall?

If so...here's my question for you...how much faith do you put in these? I know maybe it's silly to even think about the seriousness of them, but to all my dearest friends, who I care about so much, I want to know...how seriously should I take a fortune cookie which exactly fit not only a situation I'm dealing with right now personally, but exactly answers the single biggest question in my life right now?

Is it fate? Or just coincidence? And it wasn't vague...it's not like some off-the-wall proverb...the wording is very specific...very, very specific...creepily so.

Do I trust it, though?
