  "textContent": "by Anonymous\n\nNot always, but at times...Every now and then...Once in a while...More often than not...A handful of times... This is the most normal occurrence but it happens in other realms to me too. Coincidences. Serendipity. I'll be watching a movie, and love a song, and need to learn who it is. Upon research, I garner the song or songwriter has had some anniversary associated with it, within 3 or 4 days. The other day I was craving gummy bears, which because of teeth issues, is not something I indulge in very much anymore. But I remembered I had some from a year ago. In the movie I was watching at that very moment, one of the characters reached into a drawer and started eating gummy bears. Clearly in the movie, it was trying to portray some character ticks the person had. Or, I'll finish one movie, and then randomly start a whole other movie without previous knowledge, and there is that sometimes smallest of roles actor in both movies. I often tell people I'm spiritual not religious. Whatever this means, whatever anyone wants to believe, I don't know. I do believe in universal occurrences like these, and I just wish I could understand the reasons and for me, harness whatever mysticism seems to be happening in that moment. People are like, \"go buy a lottery ticket.\" I'm like, the world needs more mysticism as opposed to all this material greed and oppositional friction dividing us even on the smallest levels.",
