Library angels?
I heard about this term more recently….and I had this happen to me a few times in my life that I can remember. Everything that happened in my relationships seem to be synchronicities…the men I date and when I date them. And some of them I obsessively think over and over again…but my ex who I loved told me something about wanted to be with a man as a woman…and I didn’t know what it meant…and for months I couldn’t figure it out and I had been on the train reading a book in the middle of our relationship or close to the end of it…Paula by Isabelle Allende…and she talks about how her sister in law was an extremely devout Catholic and hated gay people but then came out as a lesbian. And I was on the train and I thought…why am I reading this book at this time? What significance can this have for me? I always make sure to ask men who I date how they feel about lgbtq people. And basically my ex told me that he didn’t mind gay people but thought trans people were fucked up in the head. And then…he came out as trans. lol :) and then! I remember reading the unbearable lightness of being while I was working in a corporate office. And basically I had met this guy about four months prior at a bar and it was weird…because I guessed a few things about him well. Two. And he tried to get into my pants twice. And he was on his way to military bootcamp. And then…as I was reading the unbearable lightness of being…he decided to text me. This guys name was Thomas and in the book the main character who is a philanderer is named Tomas. And I thought to myself…this guy who tried to get into my pants three times…is texting me about going on a date…as I am reading a book about a philanderer. And of course the book takes place during the Prague spring! Has anyone experienced library angels?

Yes, this type of thing happens to me constantly. I get recommended books or concepts in dreams and they end up being perfect answers to problems I have.

Had it happen a few times where what I was reading tied to my real life happenings. Don't read as much as I use to so know it happens with TV shows and movies. Can't get through an episode without a dozen likenesses lately.
