The Incidentalseventy realm is a self-discovery voyage where the unexpected is an invitation to transformation and growth. This article uncovers the meaning behind its quirky nickname and the transformative power of random encounters, chance encounters and the art of photography to help us find meaning in life’s jumbled tapestry.
Decoding the History of the Term
The term “incidentaleseventy” is increasingly popular these days – especially on X (formerly Twitter) as a hashtag and subject of tons of memes and internet wit – and has been widely used as a term of art. But its origins continue to be a mystery and different theories try to decipher its mysterious past.
One story goes back to the late 2000’s as a coded referent or inside joke among online gaming communities that defined unplanned events that broke progress or failed. The seemingly random number choice of seventy only added to its appeal.
Another explanation is that the term is related to military jargon, in which case “incidental seventies” supposedly meant accidental friendly fire during training, but no concrete evidence backed this up.
The Spark of Inspiration
Every creative endeavor begins with a spark of inspiration, and for Incidentalseventy, it all started with a simple yet profound idea – to capture the unexpected moments that make life so beautifully unpredictable. The name itself is a nod to this concept with poetic elegance.
It was on a bustling city street where the founder of Incidentalseventy encountered an old man selling vintage photographs, each one a window into another era, hinting at untold stories and adventures. Inspired by these frozen moments in time, he realized that sometimes the most beautiful images are the ones that are unexpected and off-script – those accidental pictures of fleeting emotions or random events.
Seventy also represents wisdom and experience – qualites necessary to recognize those fleeting moments in time. It reminds us to take every chance to grow and discover ourselves.
Using the moniker Incidentalseventy, the founder set out to find these little gems of everyday life – capturing friendly hellos between strangers, silly smiles between friends and the imperfection itself.
A Reflection of Personal Evolution
Personal growth and transformation have been themes that have emerged through Incidentalseventy. The growth comes through the bumps and valleys, through challenges faced and overcame. Life throws unexpected curveballs our direction, forcing us to adapt and learn and become better versions of ourselves.
Reflecting on personal growth along this journey requires self-reflection/introspection. Stopping to evaluate where we are in the world helps us discover where we can improve and alter things. In the moments of reflection we learn to understand ourselves better.
