Good Karma

 

This whole series of events that happened to me is too amazing not to share- I don't care if you're a believer in signs and the universe, but LISTEN UP.

A few days ago, my team and I was just making small talks and my friend Riya mentioned of how she believes in "good karma" and how that governs her life (e.g: she can't lie, she can't steal). She also mentioned how she when she really wanted a small drink stirrer thing from a restaurant (those plastic cocktail stirrer thingies iykyk), instead of stealing, she went up to the staffs and asked to buy it and how that "good karma" led her to having a completely free electrician bill (the electrician told her not to worry about paying him- not even for call-out fee) when she tripped over her wires one day and her whole electricity went out at her house. 

I was lapping the whole thing up because I obviously love discussing all things energy, karma, universe and Buddhism-related things. On that same day, a few of us in the team went out for dinner and with 3 of us being graduates, we preferred KFC over Nandos while Riya (a classy adult lady) was whining about our poor choice for dinner. I felt bad for Riya so I suggested that we compromise and get Nandos since Riya is really adamant on not eating KFC. Riya thanked me profusely as we trodded towards Nandos. 

Upon ordering, she came back to the table with the widest grin on her face and told me: "SEE CHERYL! Thank God we went to Nandos, guess what guys? Our whole meal is entirely free! THAT is because of your "good karma", Cheryl!" (Long story about why we got a free meal so I'm not going to get into that, but the reason was pretty unbelievable.)

After the dinner, I received a text from my friend and it was in response to what I messaged her a few days ago. The reply to my message was: "Good karma *with a fairy emoji*" At this point I could see the universe at play because this was in a completely different context and the fact that it was that exact term. 

I had to call an Uber to get home after dinner with my colleagues, and this particular Uber driver wasn't much of a conversationalist and I felt rude to be on my phone so I just stared out the window and listened to what was playing on the radio and this familiar song came on and it's: "Karma" by Taylor Swift. 

Yesterday, on my drive somewhere, "Look what you made me do" by Taylor Swift came on shuffle from one of my playlists and the lyrics "all I think about is karma" hit my like a ton of bricks because I almost have no recollection of ever hearing that part of the song and that particular lyrics before (obviously I always existed but I never realised until yesterday). 

I was reading in my backyard today and I saw this particular phrase in the specific page I was reading. "Good karma" 

Call me crazy if you want, but I know this is definitely too much of a coincidence to not be a sign. How many times do you hear the word "karma" being thrown around on a daily basis, much less the term "Good karma"? All in all, if you're reading this, take this as a sign to believe in karma and accumulate good karma throughout your life!
