"The red thread of fate is an East Asian belief originating from Chinese legend and is also used in Japanese legend. According to this myth, the gods tie an invisible red string around the ankles of those that are destined to meet each other in a certain situation or help each other in a certain way. Often, in Japanese culture, it is thought to be tied around the little finger. The two people connected by the red thread are destined lovers, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. This magical cord may stretch or tangle, but never break."
I've seen this myth so many times in the past couple of years. I'll see pictures and pieces of texts about it and I'll instantly be smiling.
I love the whole idea of this myth it's so lovely. I don't know how the whole idea of a string attaching two people came about but it's absolutely beautiful. However, I'm left to wonder if it's true? Can there really be an invisible string connecting two people? Sounds pretty unlikely doesn't it? And then you're left to wonder if there is a string, who are you attached to?
