I think there is a dotted line between synchronicity and just simply overthinking but the other half of my brain is convincing me that they might be inherently linked.
SYNCHRONICITY: the simultaneous occurrence of events which appear significantly related but have no discernible casual connection.
OVERTHINKING: think about something too much or for too long.
I realised this about two nights ago when I was attempting to explain to my sister how John Green has been showing up in my life, throughout the whole conversation she was heavily sighing and thought me to be exaggerating the whole thing BUT let me hear what you guys think, so….
The first time John Green showed up in my life was through The Fault In Our Stars which is my favorite novel (I don’t cringe whenever I say that, neither do I feel like the worst bibliophile, it’s THAT deep), The Fault In Our Stars is the love of my life but I refuse to bore you guys with the gory details of the amount of love I have for the book. Just know that I’ll name my first daughter Hazel Grace. The second time was when I got Turtles All The Way Down on my birthday on the 28th of Jan, after that I got myself Looking For Alaska, unintentionally and very much oblivious to the fact that it was the second time I’m getting a John Green novel on my birthday.
So I have a review site, it’s my new baby. I just wanted to dip my toes in the review world a bit, it has been a joy ride. I was rereading Turtles All The Way Down so I could review it for “John Green week”, a friend comes along and we chat for a bit and he says I should read Looking For Alaska because he just watched the film and he’s itching to get his hands on the novel. Which I find to be crazy because here I am rereading a “John Green” novel and he came and told me about yet another book by Green.
I don’t know, it all sounds crazy right now as I’m writing this but this has to mean something, right?
