To think this is freaky … FREAKY?

[ScreentimeQueen]

On Thursday , 22nd August this year I journaled in my diary that I felt down and wished I’d gone to a certain school which happened to be 150 miles away from where I grew up - different city in a completely different UK region. My own school was terrible. I wrote in my diary that I was bitter about my background and if I’d gone to the school 150 miles away - I’d met someone on holiday who went there - I feel I’d have been much happier in life. I named the school SPECIFICALLY on my diary - it’s the first time in my life I wrote down that I wished I’d gone to a specific school.

3 days later - Sunday, August 25th - I’m on holiday at a B & B and I completely randomly meet someone who went to the school I wanted to go to. We had a convo and this info unfolded during the course of the convo. The B & B was 300 miles away from my ‘dream’ school - a COMPLETELY different region of the UK.

At no point did I give the person a ‘heads up’ that I ever wanted to go to the school or knew anyone who’d been there and I was on my own having a convo with them so no ‘friend’ could’ve leaked it.

so in a nutshell -

I write in my diary I wanted go to a specific school - first time in my life I’ve done this - and 3 days later I completely randomly meet someone who went to said school 300 miles away from said school..

I mean of ALL the schools literally in the UK!! And given we’re the same age we would’ve been at the school at the same time.

AIBU to think it’s freaky ?

thanks for reading if you’ve made it this far

Perhaps you did go to that school in one of your parallel time lines and it was a memory crossover?

Ah but that’s the thing - I didn’t introduce the topic !

Ah that’s lovely !

But that’s the thing I DIDN’T give them a heads up about the school hang up!

@WhatIsThisTomFoolery24 That’s a nice story and sweetly romantic. But assuming you and this guy didn’t live all that far from each other, there is nothing strange about this at all! You probably walk past people every day that you’ve seen before but we see a lot of people so we’re not going to remember them all unless we have reason to (which you did because you fancied him!)

My kids once saw their school teaching assistant on a bus in San Francisco (we live near Brighton). It was funny- and yes, a coincidence that they happened to get on the same bus at the same time such a long way from home, but there was nothing weird or meaningful about it. They had chosen to go on holiday in the same place, that’s all. Perhaps if we’d gone to Bangkok or Istanbul, we’d have seen someone else we know 🤷🏼‍♀️
