    Unfortunately not. But there’s this specific piece of candy that my grandmother always had and ever since she passed away I randomly see the wrapper for said candy. For example, when I had my new appartment I moved in when it was completely empty. After two days of moving my stuff in, the wrapper was on the ground. I never eat the candy so it was pretty weird, but comforting in a way. I also got one when I went out for diner in my birthday one time, which is also strange because it’s such a random candy to give at a restaurant lol.

    So maybe my grandma is in a way looking for contact. Or just coincidence.

      I was in a lot of spaces that would call that “synchronicity,” idk if you’ve ever heard of that.

      But yeah, to me, I see it as a “you know if you know” sort of thing. Like, some shit like that is just too crazy to write off as coincidence.

      And let’s be real, if this shit is real and it was really your grandmother subtly using her spiritual energy to tweak the algorithm to give you a sign, or whatever it is, it would probably be in small ways that we could ultimately convince ourselves are “just a coincidence.”

      It’s a fine thread to toe because obviously going too far can lead to seeing EVERYTHING as a synchronicity, aka schizophrenia.

      Look, you know your life better than me but that story to me resonates and I see no reason why that couldn’t very well be your grandma. To me at a certain point it becomes more irrational to tell myself this shit isn’t real when the evidence to the contrary piles up. I’ve definitely caught myself reading too hard into shit to see what I wanted to see, but I feel like I can tell when some Real Ass Shit ™ is happening, versus when I’m just being a egotistical dipshit who can’t see past the blur of my own bullshit.

      I don’t know if you relate to any of that, I just don’t want you to convince yourself that it might not be true, when I find that being open to this sort of stuff often leads to the real crazy shit happening.
