A Glitch in the Matrix

Yesterday I experienced, for the first time in my life, what some may refer to as, a glitch in the matrix -- not once, but twice! 🤯🥴

The first occurrence was at the mall. My husband, babies, and I were in the food court, finishing up our meal. As my husband was cleaning up our table, I got up to use the Wi-Fi of a clothing store that was 10 steps away and in view of my family, they'd be able to see me. I told them not to go anywhere, I'd be right back.

Sure enough, not but 2 minutes later, I walked back to our table to find that it had been cleared off, and husband and stroller were gone. I stood there for a minute, did a 360 degree turn (twice), did the John Travolta pose

(A real image of me at the mall but here's the source lol: https://tenor.com/en-CA/view/john-travolta-super-shrug-look-around-no-idea-gif-16451184)

before finally accepting that I didn't see them. Walked back in the direction of the clothing store, past the store, only to find that again, I did not see them.

I was running out of options, wracking my brain like, did he say he would meet me somewhere? no, I told them to stay there!! 😩 But as I turned around to try the food court once again, I could already see my husband, with stroller, standing by the garbage cans, which were a foot away from the table where I had just been looking for them.

"Where were you?" I immediately asked him.

"What do you mean? I just finished putting everything away, got the girls into the stroller, and now we're throwing out the garbage."

I was starting to panic a bit. "Terry, I just spent the last few minutes walking around, looking for you guys. I came here, looked around, walked back..."

"Huh," he replied, "that's really strange..."

What's even stranger? My daughter never noticed me searching for them either, and she is always quick to point out Mommy and Daddy from the crowd...

So that was the first incident! 😅 The second was later that same evening, after we had made it home. I was playing dollhouse with our oldest when I told her we needed some furniture for her dolls.

She picked a toy off the floor: "This could be a bed!"

I told her I didn't think it would work out, so I went looking for other toys in her toy box.

Tell me why I ended up finding the toy from the floor, the one my daughter had just shown me, inside the box I was actively searching in. And the toy that I thought I had mistaken it for was already in a bag of toys to be donated...

On top of the fact that people have been really acting up outside? like, more so than usual? 😅 My family and I have always attracted stares for whatever fucking reason, we're not loud and obnoxious, just like to ride the bus in peace...

So tell me why, when we got off the bus with several other people and stood with them at the intersection, every single one of them looked back at us as if we were Mr. Charles directing their attention to the dream in Inception?

(Fast forward to 1:43 if you don't know what I'm referring to. All 7 people whipped back their heads to stare at us... for simply asking my child, "Would you like your gloves on?" lol...)

Guys... I'm not crazy lol. I just want to say that right off the bat. I have never hallucinated anything in my life, and I used to smoke crack! 🥴 (4 years clean this January, thank you God 🙏). I've always said, "I never want to experience a break in the simulation, I don't want to question reality the rest of my life," but I now think that's the entire purpose of reality. I've never felt "normal," "cut out for this world." I have known that my purpose will be to help those who refuse to see.

If 2025 means we'll finally see reality torn at the seams, then let me be your guide~
