"A Large World That Seems Small"

Is there truly a reason behind somebody from your past reappearing into your life? Some might say that its faith, others might play around with the idea of destiny, however, I think this situation depends only on who you are at that exact moment .Before I explain myself I must touch base on the common misconception of bumping into somebody randomly.  A phrase comes to mind whenever you see somebody in an uncommon place or meet somebody that knows the same people as you. The phrase is “it’s a small world we live in.” The population on this planet is 7.243 billion and me being almost 22 years of age I haven’t even lived that many seconds yet. This world is not small but the phrase depicts the odds of one person meeting another at the same place and time with similar history. Think about it though, most of the people we interact with share similar interests with is that’s how relationships are formed; because we relate. For example, how likely is it for your distant friend you bounded with years ago to a similar music artist to bump into you at a concert in your town; very likely. However, at that moment it is possible you felt a void, large or small, and the universe filled that void with this friend you haven’t seen in a long time. Today I bumped into somebody on my college campus who haven’t crossed my mind in years but I have a spent a great deal of time getting to know. Was I surprised? Not the slightest because of the week I’ve been having. This week I’ve been feeling slightly lost, home sick, and alone. Me bumping into somebody from my past took me back to a point in my life where I thought I had all of the answers and my social circle was at its peak. My brain triggered the universe to set balance to my emotions because no negative situation is permanent only temporary. I myself knew I had to get out of the emotional slump I put myself in and the person from my past helped me out of it just by seeing them. So I ask you my readers, think back to when you seen somebody from your past that you haven’t spoken to in a while. Now were you in a state of mind that was usual for you? I believe things do happen for a reason but more often times than not people tend to read more into things than they should. We shouldn’t forget how powerful our minds are and how the things we dwell on shape what we encounter. Next time you bump into somebody from your past simply think about the state of mind you’re in and what’s the single purpose of this person reappearing. And most importantly why that moment.
