Beautiful Coincidences

Sometimes things happen. And they make you feel really awesome, regardless of whether or not they were meant to.

Take this afternoon, for example. I went on a walk with my dog across a field. When I turned to walk along the forest line, the wind was blowing in the same direction as I was walking. As I raised my hands slightly, the wind strengthened. I threw my hands forward and the blast nearly knocked me over.

It only worked once, but hey, it was cool. :D

Then later on, on the same walk, the sunshine went away. Absentmindedly, I said, "Where'd you go, sun?" In response, a little bit of light shined on my back. "Sun, strengthen!" I commanded, and was delighted to find myself in full sunlight.

Come on, admit it. That's cool.

A while back, I was listening to my iPod as always on the bus to school. 4 Minutes by Madonna came up on shuffle. Immediately, it felt like the bus sped up, and suddenly I felt like I literally have four minutes to save the world. It was kind of like those times where you listen to sad music in the car or on the bus and stare whimsically out the window, only with twelve times more action and awesome.

I don't know why coincidences happen. I don't think anyone knows why they do. But I'd like to think it's sort of like fate's way of telling us to have hope. That we're awesome and we can prevail. I'd like to think that coincidences are little ways that fate tries to make us smile.

Cheesy? Yes.

Cliche? Yes.

Stupid? Yes.

But shhh, it's my blog. ;D
