I canât definitively tell you why; whether these moments are significant is a matter of the meaning you assign to them and what you choose to do with it.
Thereâs also the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon, aka the frequency illusion, where if something is at the top of your mind due to a recent event, you may be more attuned to noticing it when it appearsâthe classic example is buying a new car and then suddenly seeing your car model everywhere because now it stands out to you because of its significance in your life.
