11:11

I've denied it for the longest time as superstition. But this is too much. I can't deny it anymore.

It started happening to me a couple of years ago. I started seeing 11:11 everywhere. Mostly clocks around the house. The DVD player, the laptop, the clock in my car, everywhere I'd see 11:11 more than just a mere coincidence. I'd say about more than half the time I looked up the time and see 11:11 staring back at me. It would always be followed by a fight, an argument. Always!

After I moved to Ottawa I started seeing it less. I'd still see it, always followed by a fight or an argument.

Things had been good for a while. I hadn't seen 11:11 in months now. But today, I was just having an argument over the phone. I didn't hang up, the other person did. It was 2:41pm. But my cell phone showed me the call time elapsed. We had spoken for 11 minutes and 11 seconds.

I googled it. There are others who see it. But it doesn't seem to be a bad omen for anyone else like it is for me. I can't discount it as coincidence anymore. It's not a coincidence.

This is not a joke. I am not insane. It's like this thing is following me. I can't get rid of it. I don't know what to do. I need it to go away. Is it a sign?
