Synchronicities
This one specific day memories of Brad were surfacing and I was stunned as I knew these were synchronicities.
About five years back, I overheard someone nearby chatting about Brad Pitt, reading an article about him. I chose not to join the conversation as I did not feel compelled to speak about someone, I knew nothing about. Once the person left the table, curiosity got the better of me; I decided to read the article and decided to see what all the fuss was all about. The article had a picture of Brad, and he was evidently facing some tough times. To myself, I quietly said, ‘He’s going through a test, greater things are coming his way.’
I was utterly astonished, as memories of hearing about Brad in conversations with others came flooding back. While trying to reach out to Brad about this incident, I stumbled upon his platform. That is when it hit me—one of my old acquaintances was also a friend of his on the same platform.
It was late 2022, when the acquaintance suddenly remarked out of the blue, "I have Brad Pitt on my platform." I did not say anything but found it incredibly random. Evidently, I thought she's over the moon for him. I refrained from diving into the conversation to find out how she knew him.
Fast forward six months later I unexpectedly run into Brad. It was all too surreal. I could not grasp what was unfolding leaving me wondering what I was supposed to make of this experience.
Every day, the impression weighed heavily on my mind, so vivid it stirred my emotions, leaving me unsure of how to handle it. My mother recommended that I meditate on it, so I gave it a shot. As absurd as it might seem, I even reached out to the universe for guidance and clarity, yearning for some kind of confirmation, because I was utterly lost on what to do.
Synchronicities began to swarm around me; Brad's name seemed to appear everywhere. His name appeared in buildings, street signs, coworkers are chatting about him and in news articles etc. One day stood out—I thought it was wonderful not seeing his name or face anywhere. My peaceful day took a turn during my break. I lifted a plate off an article, and there he was again… I couldn’t escape him even if I tried. What does the Universe expect from me? It felt like I could not catch a break—was I losing my mind?
In that moment, I decided to test the universe. As I made my way home, I asked a question, "Alright Universe, can you show me a sign regarding Brad? If I'm meant to do something, send me a sign." I felt like a crazy person, but my mother had always said that the universe offers guidance through signs. Unbelievably, just as I exited the highway—mere seconds later—I stopped at a traffic light and, above someone’s license plate, there it was: the name BRAD right in front of me…
