Sitting here listening to my iTunes library on shuffle, the past three songs have matched exactly how I've been feeling. Say I'm feeling a bit down and I feel like I've been screwing up lately. The song Sorry by Buckcherry will come on. Or say I'm feeling happy and giddy. The song Such Great Heights by The Postal Service will come up. No matter what, the song lyrics will always somehow match or describe how I'm feeling or what I'm going through at the time. What is it that causes these random little coincedences in the world? This doesn't just happen with music. Even something like the weather can coincide with our moods. Or perhaps it's the other way around with weather, but that's another story.
Some believe in fate or destiny. I don't believe that there is a set plan for each and every one of us in the world. Life's too crazy to be able to predict things like what we're going to be when we grow up or how many kids we're going to have. Different experiences shape the people we grow to be. Even the most innocent of people can go through a tragedy and come out scarred and broken in the end. It works the other way too with the not so nice people. They might see some random act of kindness and have an epiphany in life. The message here is that nothing is certain in life. These little random coincedences when you're listening to the radio are simply coincedences. Whether you want to believe that it was meant to happen, it's up to you. I think it's more fun to leave a bit of mystery in things, even if it's just some song on shuffle.
