I discovered the man I fell in love with and I unknowingly crossed paths multiple times before we ever met
While writing a memoir about my life, I started mapping timelines and locations in a very structured way.
What I didn’t expect was what came next.
The person I eventually formed a long-distance relationship with had unknowingly been in geographic proximity to me multiple times across different stages of my life—years before we ever spoke.
Not once, but several times.
Different states, different years, different circumstances… yet the timelines overlapped in ways I didn’t notice until I began reconstructing everything on paper.
I’m not trying to turn this into something mystical or exaggerated. I’m just genuinely trying to understand how common (or uncommon) this kind of thing is.
Has anyone else ever experienced something similar—where someone important in your life had already “passed through” your timeline before you met them?
