Anyone else find sometimes it’s like the universe gives you what you need?

I’ve had a really difficult couple of years, which has meant my life shrank a lot and I’ve had no time or ability for socialising. Really just been surviving due to a number of things. I had a life threatening emergency late last year, which I’m finally recovered from.

Don’t know if it’s related but post recovery it’s like a light has switched on in me again and I feel energised and as if I want to rebuild my life and will find a way. It’s as if a part of me that had been hidden has comeback. In some ways this has been difficult as my situation restricts me, but on the whole I think it’s good.

I don’t post on social media or anything like that, but really weirdly 3 significant friends from my past ( different parts of my past so they don’t know each other) have got in touch with me out of the blue in the last 3 weeks. These are people I haven’t had contact with for years. But friends who knew me when I was me, if that makes sense ( so linked to the bits of me I want to regain).

It just such strange timing - almost as if the change in me has sent out some sort of signal! I know that it is no doubt coincidence ( or I’m noticing because I’m in a different place) but at the same time can’t help feeling like it’s something giving me encouragement to keep moving forwards.

I think its true, has happened to me on quite a few occasions.

Fizzledaway · 10/02/2023 08:07

Btw I don’t want to in any way imply that people deserve what happens to them/universe punishing or anything like that.

Just feels like for some reason I’ve been given a boost and something to help me just when I needed it.

Nope. I feel I’m being constantly punished. People say “oh but you are the nicest and purest person”. What does that tell you?

Fizzledaway · 10/02/2023 08:32

I’m really sorry to hear that @Shitfather . That is what I have felt like for the last few years. I really hope things improve for you. I know sometimes situations are impossible to get out of and just keeping going is so hard.

As I said I’m in no way implying that I somehow ‘deserve’ some good things more than anyone else.

Perhaps I would have been better putting it as - feeling like there are connections between friends that can sometimes be activated at some other level.

No! I feel like the universe is constantly against me.

Sittingonabench · 10/02/2023 08:56

Yes I sometimes feel like that. And it can be a comfort even when everything is going slightly wrong. I also think some things are cyclical, the good and the bad - so you are better prepared when the bad comes again and remember to appreciate and grasp out to the good things. Coincidences do happen but some coincidences feel like they are meant to help. Hope you feel back to your old self soon

Thank you. Your comment was very kind and I appreciate that. I’m just a grumpy cow at the moment.

Pipsickl · 10/02/2023 14:01

Yes yes yes. This kind of thing has happened to me recently.

glad things are looking up for you x

madmumofteens · 10/02/2023 15:45

I do believe I went through hell in a previous job to be where I'm meant to be with a lovely boss who reminds me there are good people x

Autumnnewname · 10/02/2023 17:05

I'm glad you're happy OP

Maybe it's do with having a positive mindset

But I wish the universe would hear me. Everything is a battle

Fizzledaway · 10/02/2023 17:37

I’m sorry you are in that place @Autumnnewname - I hope it didn’t sound like I was bragging. I’m certainly not there yet or even happy but I feel it’s maybe a possibility or I can at least start to try for the first time in a long time ( although your comment has made me reflect that even then I’m not contemplating being actually happy, just maybe a bit more positive).

I hope things get a bit easier for you soon or soemthing lifts and is a bit lighter. I do also know there are times when that seems impossible

Oh it's ok. I wasn't moaning and am genuinely glad that you're feeling good

Maybe positive attitudes change perception and good things are recognised
