i learned that coincidences are much more prevalent than one might think.
"I met my wife during college, it was the first time we had ever seen each other, and we got to know each other very well and started dating. We had dated 8 years before we got married and one fine evening we decided to look at our childhood photo albums that our parents had so carefully preserved.
I skip like 50 photos and see a small boy dressed as a Monkey and I go “Why have you stolen my picture?”
My wife goes “That is not your picture, that butterfly beside the monkey is me.”
We both argue for a solid 30 mins not realizing that we might have been in the same play school.
We then asked our parents for the year we attended and other stuff about our playschool. It turns out we went to the same play school for two years, sat on the same desk, and pulled each others hair until one of us cried.
This was in the year 1995 and fast forward 22 years and the hair pulling is still on.
8 years of dating and we both could have never guessed that we might have met before. This was the most insane coincidence in my life.
This was us back in 1995."
