Coincidence?

I truly believe that everything happens for a reason. Whether it's something as complex as justice, or something as simple as me putting on a grubby tee shirt and feeling unattractive and everyone I see says I look pretty that day. But what does it mean when it comes to interacting with other people?

Michael and I went food shopping today and we ran into three different people that we know. First was his mother, which had reminded us that she had borrowed our speakers. Then we ran into an old friend who we don't really speak to anymore (we've grown apart from him), and before we left we ran into Michael's aunt we we haven't seen in a year. Now why would we just run into them? Just for no reason? There has to be something behind it, we were meant to see them and talk to them. With his mother, I was reminded of my speakers. Seeing Pete reminded us of how much we miss him and also of how he's not the same person anymore. Michael's aunt and he talked about a job that Michael could do for her.

I just can't bring myself to believe that there's no reason behind why we run into people, meet people, or even talk to them. What do you believe?
