it’s as if life is trying to tell me something…

but I can’t seem to answer the right line.  I’m just not getting the message, and it’s frustrating.

Without going into details (I know, right – me, not giving endless, tiresome details?), because I’m trying to mentally work this out without throwing anyone under the bus.

If once is happenstance and and twice is a coincidence, what is thrice?  A pattern.  And a pattern suggests intent.

Something very specific that happens three times in your life means the universe is striving to bring your attention to a lesson you need to be learning.  Unfortunately in this situation, I don’t even know how to start figuring out what the lesson might BE, much less able to assimilate it and overcome it.

I’m starting to take notes on each situation – they have similar but not overlapping circumstances.  They have trademark behaviours.  They have unique characteristics, but hold some strong similar aspects.  I have bad and good feelings toward  the first two incidents and am, thus far, ambivalent-to-happy about the third.

Part of me is suggesting bailing and going no further with the third, since experiences with the first two didn’t turn out so well.  But just like Alice, I kind of enjoy tumbling down the rabbit hole, even if I don’t really want to admit that I do.

So.  Follow through with Situation Number Three?  Because it might turn out different?  Or take a lesson from Situations One and Two because of how poorly they worked out and go elsewhere?

And, because the song is lovely and has an interesting correlation:

Jack Johnson – Situations

Situation number one, it’s the one that’s just begun, but evidently it’s too late.
Situation number two, it’s the only chance for you, it’s controlled by denizens of hate.
Situation number three, it’s the one that no one sees, and all too often dismissed as fate.
Situation number four, it’s the one that left you wanting more, it tantalized you with its bait.
