    It's such a flawed, human thing to see recurring patterns or themes in your life when there isn't really anything there.
For example, if it seems that every time you leave the house a black cat dashes in front of you, then yeah, probably there isn't anything there.

If the recurring pattern is you continually getting into certain kinds of trouble, dwi for example, then you have more control over your story than you imagine.

If the recurring theme in your life is having abusive partners, then perhaps you can change that story.
