Just a Number...

I have certain numbers that I love. They're particular numbers that I always like to come across or have things added up to. Any other numbers are just numbers to me.

Some of those favorites are 13, 43, 7, 10, 23, 61, 5, and 313. There's a few others that I can't recall right now.

But if I get a number and I don't particularly like it, I try to change it to a number I do like. For example, suppose I get 68. It's just some random number to me. So, my mind starts changing it, right? I go something like this - 6 + 8 = 14. Still don't like it. 1 + 4 = 5. Now, that's a good number. 68's okay now.

Another example would be 1434. 1 + 4 + 3 + 4 = 12. No. 1 + 2 = 3. That's good. And I keep doing this until it works out.

It's kind of random and crazy, I know. I only caught myself doing that within the last couple years. I've just been doing it automatically for years. Can't change it. But it's not that bad really. Just something that makes me ME.

People use numbers for all kinds of things - money, codes, measurements, age, etc. They're all just a number. Yet sometimes, it becomes something more.

Today, my new favorite number is 20. I've never really like it before, but I'm starting to now.

It's been an extremely good day.
