Simone from Rio de Janeiro read the Portuguese edition of The 7 Secrets of Synchronicity and began compiling her own synchronicities. Here are three that she sent to us. The first one is about that mysterious repetitions of the number 23, which we’ve written about here.

About number 23
I met my boyfriend on February 23, 2013.
We broke up on November 23rd, 2014.
Exactly 23 days after this I met an old love from school, who I’d known for 23 years. We started dating on December 23rd, 2014.
But 23 days later, we broke up.
Then, 23 days after that, I got together again with my ex-boyfriend. Back for good!
Shampoo
I was having a very difficult moment in my life. I felt I was in crisis and that led me to thoughts of my childhood, a time which I really miss – the 90s. Among the memories was the smell of a shampoo I used to use, a shampoo that has gone off the market for over 20 years. That same day, I opened Facebook and saw an article entitled, “34 things that only 90s teenagers know” and there was a picture of the shampoo, listed as one of the items.
Música Epitáfio, dos Titãs
One day, in the morning, I woke up crying. It was one of those days when you question your own existence and your fears about death, fears about getting sick, and fears about people you love dying.
Immediately, I remembered a song that tells about this kind of crisis. It’s called ‘Epitáfio,’ by a Brazilian pop rock band, Titãs. The lyrics says: “I should have loved more, cried more, seen the sun rise, I should have risked more, and even made more mistakes, done what I wanted to do ….”
On the same day, walking along an unfamiliar street, I passed by a store that had a speaker on the door and that very song began to play. This song hass not been in vogue for about 14 years. It’s not likely to be played on the radio, but there it was just beginning at the precise moment I passed by the store.
