I was watching Million Dollar Listing last Tuesday. Some guy buying a $14 million house, and the broker is showing him around, and the buyer goes, “… walking up, you can see the ocean, so you know you’re going to be right next to the water.”
I stopped folding laundry.
That might be the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard someone say on television. Tailored for me. Obviously if you can see the ocean you’re near the water. That’s how views work. That’s how proximity works. That’s how eyeballs work.
And it was exactly what I needed to hear.
I’d been consumed for days about certainty and proof and trust. And this absolute moron on a reality show about expensive real estate just handed me the most obvious truth wrapped in the stupidest possible package. You know something is there because you can see it.
Two hours later my friend texts me. “I keep manifesting parking spots. I picture the spot and it’s there. Every time. I think I’m losing it.”
I started thinking life is a hologram we are projecting back to ourselves.
Because things keep happening. I think about someone. They text within an hour. I need specific information. A podcast mentions it the next day. I worry about money. Three expensive things break immediately. I decide to be grateful. Good shit starts happening.
Is this confirmation bias? Probably. Is my brain just looking for patterns in chaos? Obviously.
But what if it’s not.
