Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
This expresses a stark sense of fatalism, the feeling that one's entire life has been aimed at a single unavoidable point all along. It reads less like a decision being made than a recognition of something the speaker believes was always inevitable, leaving no real sense of choice.
