I love Chinese food. It's the perfect kind of meal in my book. You get delicious soup, an amazing main course (normally too big to eat in one sitting, leaving you leftovers for the next day), followed by the best dessert of them all: fortune cookies. Now, I don't actually like eating fortune cookies, but I do LOVE collecting the fortunes, and I do believe that they come true.
A little over a year ago, I received a fortune that read, "You will be happily surprised by a long-time friend." Prior to getting that fortune, I had been trying to get in contact with the parents of one of my good friends to see how he had been doing (there were obstacles he was overcoming in his personal life), as I hadn't been able to get in touch with him or any of them for months at that point.
That same night, I got a phone call from a random number, which just so happened to be my friend's mom. The following day, I got another call from his dad. While we were on the phone, I had the opportunity to talk to my friend for the first time in about three months. I was ecstatic.
From that day on, I began believing that fortunes do in fact come true, and I have collected them ever since. It's nice to read them each day and get a little bit of inspiration to keep going when times get rough. I know that they will all come true so long as I keep the faith, just as I'm sure they will for you! So, here are 46 fortunes I have collected to give you a little bit of faith when you are needing it most.
