From your average-length fate line, I see that you'll have a standard future. You won't accomplish most of the goals you set, but who does? Your heart line is standard depth—meaning you'll marry someone who's, uh, right at your level. If you wanted to be remembered for something, then according to your sun line...you know, we don't even remember most Nobel Prize winners. I’m liking your head line quite a bit—nope, that was just a smudge of dirt. So you'll try various hobbies (oil painting, breakdancing, spoken-word poetry), but they’ll remain just that: hobbies. Which is fine! It's fine.
