English term or phrase: I’d like to think I have some say in how my life is lived
Testo teatrale americano (per la messa in scena e non per la pubblicazione). Dialogo tra amiche.

A: Listen, do you guys think everything in this life happens for a reason?
B: I do. I think there’s a master plan, I just think there are no coincidences. If something happens to us--an occurrence—there’s a reason for it.
A: Well, I don’t think I like that idea. That means we have no control over our outcomes.
C: I agree with her. I’d like to think I have some say in how my life is lived.

La mia proposta:

B: Io sì. io credo ci sia un piano generale. Dico che non esistono le coincidenze. Se ci succede qualcosa, un fatto, c’è una ragione dietro.
A: Beh, non credo che mi piaccia questa idea. Questo vuol dire che non abbiamo controllo sui nostri risultati.
C: Sono d’accordo con lei. Mi piace pensare di avere voce in capitolo su come vivo la mia vita.

Cerco soluzioni migliori. Grazie!
