I keep finding feathers
Hello everyone, I am unsure if what I am experiencing is a sign, synchronicity, or just my imagination grasping at straws. I have been getting into horoscopes, tarot, and synchronicity lately but I fear being delusional and acting on flighty patterns.
Background: Lately I have been feeling lost and unwilling to open up in the past 3-4 months. A relationship that I was invested in ended in a turbulent fashion and I have gone no contact with her since. I am also about to graduate from college and I am anxious because of pressure from my family and I do not have a plan after graduation. I work at a museum/nature area and the work is decent, I just needed the money as a student.
1st Occurrence: It was June 6th about 10:50 am and I was asked to come in early and help out so I came in about 1-2 hours before usual. After I finish up I went around to open the gates to the nature area and before I open the gate I notice a feather on the ground. A conspicuous feather, right in between the gates and in the middle of the brick-patterned walkway. I looked over my shoulder and looked around as if it were a trap and after a minute I unlocked the gates and picked up the feather. I didn't make much of it because there are birds in the nature area and around where I work in general, but a single feather behind the gates in the middle of the walkway. After looking at it I felt compelled to keep it with me. I was thinking about something but I couldn't remember what I was thinking about before I saw the feather, I just remember my mind going a little blank when I saw it. In hindsight, one side of the gate leads to open traffic so shouldn't it have blown away with the cars driving by? Or vise versa?
2nd Occurrence: It was June 15th at about 8:00 pm and I am at work again. I am driving the golf cart around in our 2nd nature area before we lock up. When you stay on the path there is this bridge-like structure that you cross and as I step out of the golf cart I notice 2 feathers. Somewhat stuck together, or at least one on top of the other. I had a similar experience to last time except I was more skeptical. Maybe I was just hangry, feeling negative, pessimistic, or just wanted to leave work, but I still felt compelled to take the feathers. "There are always birds in the nature area, they're just feathers," I thought to myself.
3rd Occurrence: This one is less specific because I did not document it right away or take a picture of this occurrence. It was late and I just remember having to go to the bathroom and once my mind started to focus I started to look around my small bathroom. My eyes pick out something and I do a double-take because I that it was just a knot of my hair but it was a feather. I am beyond skeptical at this occurrence because I don't own a feather duster or anything that could leave that behind. My roommate could have, but she cleaned and moved out over a month ago. It could have been one of the feathers I picked up before but this feather was smaller, misshapen, and I still had the ones from the 2nd Occurrence in my work pants.
Is there any meaning or information from these occurrences, or have I made a mountain out of a molehill? How do you interpret patterns and what they mean? have you ever had strange patterns occur in your life? How did you interpret it? How did everything turn out?
