Coincidence? I think so.

What really is a coincidence? We’ve all had “coincidences”. But what do they really mean? Your new boyfriend has the same birthday as your father. You were talking about someone you haven’t seen in five years and three minutes later they show up at the bar you’re drinking at. You’re thinking about that special someone and the song that you both heard the night before is now on the radio. You get the gist. A few months ago I was having a lot of coincidences happening to me. I won’t get into them. I thought and thought, what the hell do they mean? Do they mean something? Or are they just a part of life, passing us by? Well I came to the conclusion that coincidences meant nothing. They are nothing, just happenings within a day. So anyway, that evening, after over thinking coincidences I sat down and began reading my new book. And what was the first chapter about? COINCIDENCES. I swear. It was weird. (this is me not getting religious) But my father once told me that coincidences are a “higher being” letting you know that “they” are there. I really don’t know. I’ve had some coincidences that I understand (sort of) and some that I don’t. Last year I remember going through some crappy times. And then something changed. I got promoted at my job, out of the blue. I went from feeling like shit to feeling very happy, very thankful. (going back) My best friend from high school had transferred from another school district. The school she went to before happened to be where my father taught, in Suffolk County. My father knew her sister. She knew my father. She became my best, best friend. What are the chances? Do things (coincidences) happen for a reason? I don’t know. Maybe, coincidently I will meet the man of my dreams walking down 7th avenue later this evening.
