I am followed by 22 in the most weirdest of ways also 22 makes me happy as well. Follow story on quora about 22 just look up reenslane the improbability is out of this world regarding 22.
I’m just curious, my favorite number, for years, has been 22. Its even, its not a large number but it makes me happy (as do most even numbers). What is the significance of this number? Does it mean anything and if so, what? I read that 2 is both good and evil, light and dark, etc. and I read somewhere if the number is repeated then you would have that many times in your life. I’m generally a very happy, positive person and tend to see the good in most everything. I don’t get all hung up on this stuff but I am curious.
