Okay, so the other day I kept seeing the number 109 everywhere. Like, seriously everywhere. On license plates, receipts, clocks… it was kinda freaking me out. So, naturally, I did what any normal person would do: I started digging into it.
First, I just casually glanced at my phone’s clock. 1:09 PM. Okay, weird. Then, I went to grab a snack, and the microwave timer had 1:09 left. Alright, this is getting a little too coincidental. Time to hit the internet!
I started by simply Googling “109 meaning”. Of course, a ton of stuff popped up, mostly about “angel numbers.” I’d heard of angel numbers before, but never really paid them much attention. I scrolled through a few sites, skimming the usual fluffy stuff about positive vibes and trusting the universe. Then, a few details started resonating with my situation.

My Deep Dive into 109
-
Several sources mentioned 109 being connected to wrapping things up and getting ready for something new. That actually hit home. I’d been feeling stuck in a rut with my work, kind of like I was spinning my wheels.
-
It also talked about listening to my intuition. I am easily getting distracted lately, maybe that is my intuition, I thought.
-
Another thing that popped up was about using my natural talents. I’ve always loved to draw and creating things. I used to spend hours doodling as a kid, but somewhere along the way, life got in the way, and I just…stopped.
So, I decided to take this whole 109 thing as a little nudge. I figured, what could it hurt?
The next day, I started small. Instead of just checking social media on my lunch break, I pulled out a notepad and a pen. I just started sketching whatever came to mind – a coffee cup, a weird-looking tree outside the window, even just random shapes. It felt…good. Really good. I even began looking at my work project and taking notes. I got so much stuff done and out of my brain. It was an incredible day.

I’ve kept it up for a few days now. I’m not saying I’m suddenly going to quit my job and become a famous artist or anything. But I am feeling a lot more…connected. Like I’m actually paying attention to what I want to do, instead of just going through the motions. I finished all of my pending to-do list items.
Whether it’s the “universe” sending me messages through the number 109, or just a weird coincidence that kick-started my brain, I don’t really care. I’m just glad I paid attention. It’s been a good reminder to slow down, listen to that little voice inside, and maybe, just maybe, rediscover some of those forgotten passions. And, hey, I haven’t seen 109 nearly as much since I started drawing again. Go figure!
