TOTALLY CONFUSED! There's events that I'm certain were synchronicities but nothing has come of them. Looking for your takes on these events.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I've been wanting to learn a language and no one around me wants to speak it. It's rare to find speakers and most are an older generation.
Something I realised AFTER the events, I had been dying to have a fluent friend or penpal my age to speak with and email with, for about 2 months then stopped thinking about it and forgot about it. But continued my pursuit to learn the language.
I booked a course to learn with a relative of mine, on the other side of the country.
---------------------------------------------------------------
1. Our teacher: my exact age, completely fluent, incredibly enthusiastic about the language and very creative (very like myself, he even looked quite similar to me): he'd admire/appreciate my creations too. I instantly felt amazed by and felt a pull towards this person because its so rare to find someone like this. (not in a romantic way at all but in a deeper way).
In a lot of ways, he reflected what I wish I was, or wished I had the bravery/confidence to do.
....But he rarely spoke with me and opted to speak with my relative when we would be talking to him. (perhaps she was easier to speak to)
2. Rarely spoke to me directly for chit chat but would to my relative. But inside the class: he would greatly admire my creative things.
He also would pick me out to ask me questions the most, even my relative noticed this. It's not just the questions but the topics.
To others, the questions were about the weather and what you do daily. When he asked me, he'd always ask follow up questions over and over and become almost emotional/spiritual questions.
My relative said
"he seems to be asking you really spiritual questions. They're tough."
3. Leaving day: We said goodbye to him. And began our 5hr journey back across the country. As we got further and further away, I began to feel more and more sad and empty that I would never see this person again.
WEIRD THING: I rarely get phone calls. But an hour into our journey back, I look at my phone, it never rang but a missed call was suddenly registered.
I didn't recognise the number, so I googled it.
The number was associated with the
exact county we were leaving from. Not only that, but it was associated with the
exact little VILLAGE this teacher told us he was from in that county.
(We don't know anyone from that county....or his little home town village. To get a missed call from those places ON the day we were leaving, only an hour into the journey from leaving him is weird)
Turns out, it wasn't from him. I called it twice, there was no answer. I text it but some other person (different name) replied saying they have no idea about it so it must've been a wrong number dialled or an accident.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This person felt important and I kept thinking of him months afterwards. He was an inspiration and breath of fresh air.
he gave his email address to the class in case anyone wanted to contact him. 6months after meeting him, I decided to message him to open the conversation, I wanted to ask him does he recommend any courses closer to my home county and thanked him for the wonderful time on the course. ( i had not else to contact him about)
It's been 4 months since that email and no reply.
WAS I STUPID IN THINKING THIS WAS SYNCHRONICITY?
DID THIS MEAN ANYTHING AFTERALL?
