A guy at the bus stop said 'tangled roots', then my show had it, and a billboard too. I began writing these down and now they pop up all the time, it's kinda wild. Does this happen to you guys or am I seeing things lmao?

Ever get that? I kept seeing "red wheelbarrow" for a week straight. It was in a poem on some kid's homework, then on a weird decal on a truck, and my neighbor was literally talking about buying one. Makes you feel like the universe is glitching.

Ever feel like your brain's just messing with you?

Happens to me with song lyrics. Heard "copper wire" in an old tune, then my buddy said his car's wiring was shot, saw it on a hardware store sign the next day. Brain just latches onto stuff once you notice it once. Not a glitch, just your pattern finder working overtime.

Spot something once and your brain just highlights it everywhere, like @quinna89's wiring thing. Makes the world feel trippy even when you know the reason.
