star crossed lovers

The role of fate is something that is greatly emphasized in Hollywood romances and is used to make it seem like the perfect person is out there waiting for you. In my opinion "fate" is something that is fictional, and to find true love you have to go searching for it, the perfect person wont just show up out of no where and sweep you off your feet. But in today's society people seem to believe that when they found someone who they have a considerable amount of feelings for, that it was all due to fate. An example of people ending up together because of "fate" is the movie just wright staring Queen Latifah and rapper Common. This movie tells the cliche story of "fate" as Queen Latifah plays a woman who is searching for love, but always ends up being in the friend zone with a guy. This is until she meets the star player of the New York Nicks played by Common, and they go through a long journey of love and denial until they end up falling in love. So as I was saying earlier i do not believe in the word "fate" and I think it is just another sugar coated Hollywood term.
