Lucid Thoughts

July 8, 2026

Angels follow me everywhere. I see their numbers in everything, especially in the mundane. I find they show at just the right moments and on unpredictable spaces. Somehow each meaning to the numbers shown to me always meets me exactly where I am in that moment.

I find value in pointing them out to others, to take a second to pause together and relate to the deeper meanings.

Not too long ago, I expressed interest in a guy I’d known way back when. He expressed interest back and at 5 am one night he called asking to come over because he was in my neighborhood.

I said no.

I try not to be available to interest like that. However, he was persistent and since the previous few days were going well, I caved and allowed him into my home. We slept for a few hours then ended up spending the entire day together walking around the city. It felt peaceful. For lunch, he offered to pay for my meal. He had to run to the bathroom before we got to the front of the line, so he gave me his card and told me his pin. When I got to the front and ran the card, the total for lunch was the exact same number as the pin he had just told me. After convincing myself that it was probably fate, I discovered it represents independence and manifestation. It’s seen as a nod to trust instincts. We sat on the curb eating lunch and I read him this meaning. I thought he appreciated it, but we haven’t seen each other since and I think that angel was trying to protect me from something rather than allowing me to take it as a sign.

A few weeks later, I went out for typical, boring home products – toilet paper, towels, and red solo cups for a party I was hosting that night. The total came to $33.55. Although my hands were full, I realized I had to stop for snacks and drinks for the party guests on the way home, too. The total came to $33.55. Immediately I gasped and to explain my audible shock I made the cashier listen to me read off a quickly searched meaning of the numbers – embrace new transitions with strong communication and confidence. She was excited that I was excited to share with her and told me she would play the number in the lottery that night.

Most times I appreciate these numbers alone.

I see them on sides of buildings, in my rewards points, certain hours of the day, miles traveled on trips, and everywhere in between.

I traveled by myself from NYC a couple of months ago, and my train was #666. It was very late at night and at first, the number made me uneasy – traveling alone on the train of doom – until I recognized that the number symbolized personal balance and mindfulness in caring for myself. Yes, I was alone, but I was heading home from much needed time away and returning to continue with a positive mindset. As a reminder of this meaning, my subway this morning was also #666. I take the subway every day and never noticed they’re numbered.

My camera is full of angel number sightings. I appreciate that I can never find them when I search for them because they only existed in that moment for me to see and they’ll be found when I need to see them again.
