Serendipitous and creepy coincidences
Happy to elaborate, but I will just get right to the point and share how crazy of an experience I just had. I work in the medical field and it’s my job to visit various medical clinics in a major city and surrounding burbs. I’ve been doing this job for some time and over the years I’ve had an opportunity to run into folks I know at hospitals or medical offices when they are there for an appointment. It’s not something that happens super often but it’s happened once or twice.
Today something happened like I cannot even believe. I was at an office, waiting to see one of the providers when a girl that I have a huge crush on from the gym, walked out of the office (she was there for an appointment). She’s been my gym crush for the past few months now and as those things usually go we have yet to have a real conversation besides the usual I flirting and friendly smile when we see one another from afar. My initial reaction was complete surprise and being a medical office you have no idea what the other person is therefore so it’s not the best time to make small talk or ask why they are there since is very personal and can sometimes be bad news. But here is where things got really weird.
I noticed she was very surprised to see me, and we both kind of gave each other an awkward smile as she left and I kid you not even two minutes later as the front desk called a former coworker, walked into the clinic with her significant other/partner. While I never went on a date with this person we always had very flirty vibes and she always insisted hanging out but I liked her more as a friend professional acquaintance then for pursuing something romantically in the workplace.
I could not believe the chances of that happening because this must have been within a 90 second span. Insane timing and I was completely flabbergasted.
Towards the end of the day, something else happened that inspired this post that made me throw my hands up in the air and say either we live in a simulation or God has the funniest sense of humor. One of my last stops was at a clinic that I have been to at least 100 times and when I got there I saw my very first love/girlfriend ever. It had been more than 10 years since I had last seen her and we are both grown and very different parts of our lives but I could honestly not believe how crazy the coincidences were for us to meet like that.
She was possibly the best thing that had ever happened to me, but when she first met me, I was an appoint in my life where I had incredibly low self-esteem, a very delicate family situation caused by a terminally parent and so much financial stress from trying to balance work and also go to school (which I was not doing well in) and just being completely lost and overwhelmed with life. I had always romanticized that she was the one that got away and she was honestly one of the most awesome kind and beautiful people I had ever met (almost a situation when two perfect people meet at the wrong time) and even now I think of her very fondly.
I could see the look on her face when she saw me and no words were needed We both smiled, and I went about my business and I left it at that
Just an insane day and something out of a dream really.
Sorry to have wasted so much of your time with this extremely long post, but do you see any meaning in this or is this kind of like a full circle realization moment for me to realize that life continues in life goes on and to accept things as they are and just move forward OR is there a hidden meaning or something that I should be looking for in the future?
