A couple of days ago, I found this tweet which I found very cute and very real at the same time.
In English, it translates to ‘the miracle of matching’.
I had never thought about it thoroughly that way, but it is an art. Matching and coinciding with people, situations, places, everything.
Think about how big Earth is. It’s an ENTIRE planet. And you LIVE in it.
Out of all of the planets out there, you are on planet Earth, inside this specific galaxy, in the family you got, in the country you live, in your circle of friends, and you even have a human body WITH A PERSONALITY.
We are all unique, here in this moment, within all of us.
At that moment, I came back to my home country, Mexico City. I’ll write a post about some differences and situations I’ve noticed here since my arrival, but I’ll leave you with that here.
One of the reasons of why I had not posted a lot these past weeks, between other situations.
Still, all of us share the same ‘reality plot’ with different scenarios, situations, characters, missions, goals, perspectives, among others.
I don’t know but think about this. Out of all of the (almost) 7 BILLION people on the planet, you have met the people you have, and you can’t tell me it’s just because of nothing.
Why?
Really… why do we meet the people we meet?
Everyone is here to teach us something for different periods, but why THEM? Can’t someone else teach us the same things as that person? Probably… but that one person is the one who teaches it to us instead of the one beside them.
Why? I guess we are not meant to know.
Some magic is inside that and I can’t lie about that.
The fact that we don’t know what’s next, can make us very anxious at times, or even frustrated.
Would we be more at ease if we knew? I don’t think so too. We would miss the ‘negative’ experiences doing that, and we wouldn’t become strong beings.
Imagine if you went to a cafe, met a person, and you would be able to know if they are going to do good or bad in your life to you.
Something like; ‘they’ll make your future partner cheat on you with them’.
Probably you would say F you, or wouldn’t even come across that person.
Well then shame on you, because maybe that next partner will cheat on you and you won’t even realize it.
And if you were to meet the partner, and it would tell you that you’ll get cheated on. You probably wouldn’t date them either.
And like this, it would become a big chain of people who are afraid of going to others and would only seek people who would do ‘good’ for them.
What’s the point here then? You’ll miss out on so much hurt, you’ll stay in your comfort zone for your life.
You won’t live.
You’ll know what’s next, and it would ruin the spontaneity life provides us. We would know what is going to happen, who will make us happy, and who won’t.
We would become people who run away from others more than most of us do now.
It’s scary because we’ve all known, at least once, what being hurt is. And it’s complete a**, but thanks to it we grow and become more aware of ourselves and our actions.
Makes us realize more of what is in the world, and provides us a tool on how to deal with the next challenge.
That one person who made you the happiest gives you insight into how happiness exists in the world, and how you have the capacity of feeling joy in your surroundings. While the person who hurt you, now makes you realize how bigger you are than before, how you can face challenges (which aren’t bigger than you now), and how from low, high comes.
It is essential to not know if you look at it that way.
Besides all of this, for me, it is amazing how everything that happens to us every single moment, leads us to where we have to be.
We take ourselves to our destiny or mission, based on the obstacles, events, and decisions we have in front of us every day.
We meet specific people, places, situations, sensations, feelings, emotions, everything, not by casualty, but because we have to.
There is something in them we have to take in our path, and something to leave as well. And that’s how it is.
The energy we take is the one we give. If we encounter something that doesn’t resonate with us, we’ll leave it. ‘It’s not for me’. But you encountered it already. You made a ‘coincidence’.
What exactly is a coincidence?
Coincidence: a remarkable concurrence of events or circumstances without apparent causal connection.
or
correspondence in nature or in time of occurrence.
Synonyms: chance, accident, fate.
Funny to me that they have a synonym with fate and accident.
Is it an accident? A chance and an accident fall into the same category… hmmm
Do accidents happen by chance or by fate? Or are they casualties? Coincidences?
Huh, what a coincidence I broke my foot the same day my sister’s friend dyed her hair purple.
No one.
I don’t know… to be honest, it is simply wonderful how life has everything planned out for us and we don’t even notice it sometimes.
The feeling of being in a place or with a person or situation, in which you just stop for a minute and feel like ‘this is it. You just know. No need to have a lot of information given, it’s a feeling you get. ‘Yeah… it’s all right. That’s it. I know.’
And there are no words to concretely describe it, but you know.
Everything is perfectly aligned, and we are not able to realize this until time passes over the situation, and we get to understand why things happen and happen now.
That’s why people say ‘the world is so small because your world is. Each world is so small, because everything connects, and everything is meant to make the least sense while happening in the perfect moment.
Hard to understand, until you get to having to learn it either you want to or not.
Such a beauty thinking of all of the people I’ve met, even for a year or a minute, and how they can all impact you in different aspects of your life and leave a piece of them in you forever (whatever forever means).
You might not remember that one person who smiled at you in the street when having a bad day, but they had their impact on you as well. And it is a ‘coincidence’ you two met and he had to do something with you at that moment.
I’m not sure if I like calling these events casualties because I don’t know what they are.
Are they destiny? Fate? Accidents? Something? Nothing? Everything? Life? Synchronicities (I like this one, to be honest)?
I don’t know, they can be called so many things, but come back to be the same thing in the end.
Call it whatever, it makes life, life.
Coincidence is such a small word for huge signs.
sidenote no. 24
Couldn’t be more grateful today for being able to look back and understand why I’ve seen, met, and been through all of the places or people I’ve experienced up til now.
We are all casualties ourselves.
Being born is a casualty, living and dying too.
Casualty we were born as humans and not animals or elements. Casualty we breathe on our own. Casualty we feel. Casualty we think. Casualty we meet. Casualty we are conscious.
I don’t know… this blog might have been shorter than others I’ve written, but this is a very wide and concrete topic at the same time.
Synchronicities are beautiful.
Love living around them and spotting them.
Makes this place, whatever it is – planet or universe – a unique place.
Choose to acknowledge what you do with what happens to you everyday.
I love you.
Take care.
Milena.
