i’ve been waiting for a sign

I’ve come to be a believer in signs. It wasn’t any conscious decision, it’s just that things have presented themselves over and over, and I would be an idiot not to see them as meaningful. I used to mistake coincidences as something more, but there is a difference, and I’ve learned to discern between the two. Call me crazy, but I have quite a few examples. Really! Ask me about my three of hearts sometime.

On the subway today (my brand new commute!), I couldn’t decide what to listen to. Going to my “new” playlist, I thought I was putting on the Kaki King & Mountain Goats tracks, but after one song of theirs the new Mates of State came on. I had totally forgotten to listen to it. It’s been what I’ve been needing to hear for a while. I could explain my thought process behind why I view this the way I do, and I tried, but it doesn’t work on paper.

Or maybe it’s just all intuition. Or the incredibly obvious. So, listen to the album; it’s good and hopefully it makes you feel the way I do right now. And hey, by the way, happy December.
