I’ve had the same cell phone number for 20+ years. Same with my wife.
Then started thinking how the opposite number retention has proven an oddly accurate predictor for stability of people in my life…
- their emotional stability
- relationship consistency
- financial stability
The friends that have come and gone have also had numbers that have come and gone. The frequency of number changes also matches the frequency of tragedies
- Quantities of career changes
- Constant relocation
- Divorces
No judgement. No science. Just an interesting observation that’s oddly applicable in my life.
