Differences. Why do we see such differences? From color to weight, and gender to nationality.. Why do we view differences as a negative connotation? We are all different. We come from many different places. Different countries. Different upbringings. ..So why do we expect a 'norm' among so many different people. We expect everyone to fit into what society says is acceptable.. which is unacceptable. We have these ridiculous beauty standards, we feel inclined to live up to.. but I think the most beautiful thing of all, is our differences! Being different is good. Being different makes you stand out. Why would I want to be like everyone else around me.. I am me. A unique person. The only person with these exact qualities and traits. We need to be okay, and love who we are.. differences and all. If we were all similar, what a boring world this would be.

Everything is connected.

Synchronicity was a theory introduced by psycologist Carl Jung. Synchronicity can be described as events that occur as meaningful coincidences. Synchronicity can help us know if we are on the right track or not. Some of the signs that can confirm this alignment are, seeing repeating numbers 1111, 2222, 333. You might hear the same song, or recieve the same message repeatedly. Running into someone or getting a call/text from someone you were just thinking/talking about. Randomly coming across a product that solves your problem. Watching a movie/tv show that mirrors your current issues in life. Hearing random strangers in public discussing something you've been thinking about. Meeting a random person that is able to help you through a current situation. Receiving a random reassuring message from someone at the right moment. Amazing timing, everything seems to line up perfectly. These may all be signs from the universe that you are currently on your right projected path.
