I've been seeing 11:11 since I was a child. My grandma lived with us when we were growing up, and she used to always point 11:11 out to us, saying "It's 11:11! Kiss the wall!"

After she died, I returned to seeing 11:11 all the time. It's increased and expanded, to where I also see 3:33, 4:44, and other such master numbers (repeating digits and derivatives of 11).

Once, when online, I saw a link: "Got 11:11"? I followed it, finding international online...

I grew up Catholic, but felt little in the way of a relationship with God. I prayed to Him frequently, especially when I was feeling uncertain, afraid, anxious, or sad. I wanted to believe He heard me, and He cared about my feelings, but I seldom felt Him. I went on faith, and faith alone, but felt His presence seldom to never.

As I grew older, I fell away even from the practice of trying to talk to God, and from disuse, my sense of faith fell into atheism bordering on nihilism....
