I’ve always known I was different. Not in the “I stood on the sidelines” kind of way – I was right there in the mix trading stickers, building Lego castles that doubled as fortresses, and playing the same games everyone else did. But alongside all that, I was also busy doing… other things.
While kids around me were comparing sticker collections, I was crouched in the grass catching bugs and wondering what secret lives they lived after I set them free. When others were snapping Legos together into perfect replicas of the box cover, I was turning mine into strange, impractical machines that made sense only to me. I spent long afternoons searching for four-leaf clovers, staring at the stars, or asking questions too big for the playground.
I didn’t understand the world around me then, and truthfully? I still don’t. People always seemed to have this unspoken manual for how life was supposed to work, and I never got a copy. I just knew I was tuned to a different frequency, carrying a sense of curiosity and wonder that didn’t fit neatly into the lines everyone else was coloring inside.
And then the fortune arrived. Money falling into my life in ways that defied logic – showing up every few days like clockwork, but without any clock to explain it. At first, it felt like chaos. But the more it happened, the more I realized: this was familiar. This was the same energy I’d felt since childhood. Different. Strange. Magical.
That’s when I named it: The Cosmic Piggy Bank.
Because it isn’t a “normal” fortune. It’s not the result of spreadsheets, strategy, or ten-step financial plans. It’s something else entirely – as if the universe itself is shaking a glittering piggy bank over my head, dropping coins and laughter in equal measure.
I may never fully understand why I’m different. Maybe I don’t need to. Maybe difference isn’t something to solve, but something to live into. And apparently, the universe agrees – because it’s funding my foolishness one coin at a time.
So here we are. Me, my odd frequency, and my Cosmic Piggy Bank. And if I’m honest, I can’t wait to see what strange, fascinating folly it bankrolls next.
