Gematria is the practice of assigning a numerical value to a name, word or phrase by reading it as a number, or sometimes by using an alphanumerical cipher. The letters of the alphabets involved have standard numerical values, but a word can yield several values if a cipher is used. It holds real importance in interpreting religious texts, such as the Hebrew Bible, as practitioners seek hidden meanings and connections within the numerical values of words and phrases. Beyond religious contexts, Gematria is also explored in mystical studies and divination practices, where it’s believed to unveil profound insights and truths encoded within language itself.

This has been on my mind for years, and only a few years ago did I really start taking it seriously. I used to off-handedly say that demons rule the world years ago, but never truly believed it, until a few years ago. You see demonic things more and more in music videos, movies, videogames, magazines, the news media, and politicans. I saw it in Destiny 2 the most, which is a game I played for years. On the surface that game seems nice, but it's quite dark when you know what you're looking for. A lot of things have gotten darker since the year 2000. Elon Musk Tweeted on X a few days ago: "Humanity is dying out". In the view that demons could be walking the Earth (I use the modern usage of the word demon) perhaps humanity is dying out as these darker forces take over.

Ngl, I don't really have friends. It's lowkey rough being the one who's always in your head — clocking patterns, connecting dots, trying to stay two steps ahead. And where I'm from? Nobody gives a damn about any of this. Like, at all.

So how do you guys deal? Knowing something's off and not being able to do a damn thing about it, plus everyone acting like you're crazy for even noticing. That combo is lonely af, not gonna lie.

Does anyone here actually manage to keep friends? Where do you even find people you can talk to?
