I had a witchy feeling last night. One of those where it feels like the universe is giving me a message.
I don’t want to sound all hippy or woo-woo, but these happen to me with some regularity. And for the longest time, I thought they were “witchy” experiences, a type of message from the universe. I’ve talked about this before in my ramblings, but here’s the short version:
What I think I’m experiencing is actually an ADHD “superpower.” That moment where you just know something, no evidence, no explanation. But somehow, deep down, you’re absolutely certain. Most likely, it’s a combination of pattern recognition and hypervigilance bubbling up from the subconscious.
It’s hard to explain, but something in me had been trying to work something out. And it did. Quietly. Below the surface. Then BAM! a wave of peace.
I had a strong sense that I was being thought of with fondness and care. My whole nervous system calmed down. Just… peace. No fight-or-flight. No background static. Just stillness. It was like I could feel THEIR feelings.
I always try to make a note of these moments because it can take months before I get any kind of clarity or confirmation.
Let me give you an example that still gives me goosebumps…
Back at the end of 2018, I was dating this guy, let’s call him Fat Larry. He was waiting out his visa in Mexico at the time, and things between us (I believed) were great. We were making plans, everything felt aligned… except I had this intense physical feeling… like I was missing a piece of the puzzle. I had no red flags I could point to, just this feeling of unease. It was strong enough that I wrote it down in my journal.
A few weeks later, I found out he had a wife. Yup. A whole-ass wife!!!!!!
The wife and I ended up talking a few months later, comparing timelines and experiences. Total “girl’s girl” moment.
Turned out, the day I’d had that “feeling” was the same day he had reached out to her, asking her to visit him in Mexico. I clearly picked up on something, but to this day, I can’t see any clues in our conversations, or his behavior.
The point is … I’ve learned to trust those witchy little pings. I’ve learned to document them, especially when I can’t explain them. Because more often than not, they turn out to be dead on.
So last night, I had one of those pings again. I think I know what it’s about, but I’ve made a note, and I’ll wait. Eventually, the truth always surfaces.
Until then… I’m just grateful for the peace.
I slept better than I have in weeks. A solid six hours. (I’ve been running on maybe two a night for the past ten days.) I woke up refreshed. Raring to go.
Sometimes, that’s all you need. A little mystery. A little peace. A full night’s sleep.
I’ll take it.
EDIT – 8th July 2025
BINGO! The next morning, my suspicions were confirmed. I still don’t know if it’s ADHD, pattern recognition, or if I’m just especially tuned in to the universe… but I do know it’s important to trust it.
