My Run-in with 3343
So, I kept seeing this number, 3343. Everywhere. Wasn’t looking for it, mind you. It just started popping up. You know how sometimes your brain just locks onto a pattern? That was me with 3343 for a while there.
It was during a time when, honestly, I felt kinda stuck. Like I was just running on a treadmill. Same routine day in, day out. Work was okay, life was okay, but it all felt a bit… gray. Lacking spark, you know? I used to be into drawing, messing around with creative stuff, but that had totally fallen by the wayside. Just didn’t seem to have the energy or the time. Felt like I was just existing, not really living.
Then 3343 started showing up. First, I noticed it on the clock a few times – 3:43 in the afternoon. Then saw it on a receipt total, $33.43. Then part of a phone number on a truck. Just weird coincidences at first. Ignored it mostly. But it kept happening. Like, weirdly often. Enough that I actually stopped and thought, “Okay, what’s the deal with this number?”
I’m not usually one for spooky stuff, but curiosity got the better of me. Did a quick search online. Found stuff about ‘angel numbers’. Rolled my eyes a bit, not gonna lie. But I read what folks were saying about 3343 – things about balance, finding joy again, getting your creative juices flowing, and needing some determination to make changes. Basically, a kick in the pants to stop moping and actually do something.
And that part… well, it hit home. The ‘balance’ thing especially. All work, no play, felt exactly like my problem. The ‘joy’ part too – I definitely wasn’t feeling much of that. So, I decided, okay, forget the ‘angel’ part if I want, but the message itself makes sense. What if I just try it?
Didn’t do anything crazy. Didn’t quit my job or move to Tibet. I just started small.
- Dug out my old sketchbook. Forced myself to just doodle for like 15-20 minutes before bed instead of scrolling my phone.
- Made a point to actually take a lunch break away from my desk. Walk outside, even if it was just around the block.
- Tried to find one small thing each day that was kinda fun or interesting, instead of just focusing on the grind.
It wasn’t magic. Life didn’t suddenly become perfect. But slowly, things started to feel… less gray. I started actually looking forward to that little drawing time. Felt a bit more like my old self. That feeling of being stuck started to ease up, just a little. It was like the number showing up was just a weird trigger, a reminder that I needed to find that balance myself. Nobody was gonna hand it to me.
Still see 3343 occasionally. Don’t freak out about it anymore. Just kinda nod to myself. It’s like a little reminder now – stay balanced, keep doing stuff that brings you a bit of that spark, don’t just get stuck on the treadmill. You gotta put in the effort, be determined about finding your own little bits of joy and creativity, you know?
