Coincidence.
I am always listening to music. A lot of people devote time to television shows and films; I enjoy those as well, but in my life, that time is filled with music.
Today I was listening to a playlist and I wanted to see how many times I have listened to one of the tracks this year. Went directly to last.fm and had a nice moment of surprise at the coincidence that the exact moment I checked I had listened to precisely 10,000 tracks this year.
Incidentally, my top track for the first half of the year is Young Galaxy - Blown Minded 👶🌌 - 🤯 73 plays when I checked, 74 now. Depression mode signifier.
Is a coincidence magic? Some people see things that way. Synchronicity is closer to magic in my mind than coincidence is. Perhaps it's coincidence plus meaning.
These are just numbers. I'll be on the lookout for deeper meaning. Hoping to experience some magic, but it's so hard to see.
