Repeating patterns

Nothing interests or attracts me quite as much as repeating patterns. Patterns in nature (which is everything), patterns in people, patterns in numbers, patterns in words, patterns in music, patterns in travel / transport, patterns in food or my relationship to it, patterns in me. Sometimes this is a good thing, sometimes its not. Patterns are addictive and I don't always quantify them in a healthy way. I can become addicted to an emotional pattern that is not necessarily good for me, but is none the less interesting. This attachment to pattern is something I see in many of my people and something that challenges parents, friends and teachers... Especially if they are looking for a solution to a difficult (for them) behaviour without understanding that it may stem from an attachment to pattern.
