Have you ever been in love before? Was it returned?

Do you think some are meant to be alone?

(These are the thoughts she entertains when her temple is quiet and her fires burn low.)

You need not get into specifics if it is uncomfortable for you.

We are only as alone as we choose to be. There are those who actively seek someone to be with and others who choose to let the cards fall where they may, if you will.

The red string of fate may tie more than just two souls together. It is inevitable we meet those we do, both good and bad. Some are bound by that red string. Others we only meet at a passing glance.

I do not know how you can choose for someone to love you? I would like to find someone to spend my life with; to love and trust for the years to come, but I do not choose who is drawn to me.

What is the red string of fate?

No one can choose to make someone love them, but one can certainly try to tip the scales in their favor so to speak. If you find someone you wish to spend your life with, you may choose to reveal your innermost feelings in hopes they feel the same or remain silent and hope they make the first move. But ultimately, it is as you say. You cannot choose who is drawn to you but what you can choose is how to respond.

The red string of fate is an old belief. They say our fates are intertwined and our souls are bound to those we are meant to be with with an invisible red string. It is up to you to decide whether or not to believe that there is indeed one destined for you, bound by this red string or if you would rather take your chances in the dating pool searching for them.

For me, that requires overcoming my fear and my distrust. I do not know if any man is worth all the effort. The only one who matters to me currently is my brother, but that love is different. (For the Starks. Other families in Westeros are quite comfortable with incest.)

Can the red strings be cut?
