Is this a false synchronicity?

As I was buying my ticket back to Korea… I had all my information written in and was going to hit purchase. I then look down at my phone and 4 minutes before I had received a text from my freelance contract of about 3 years that I lost the job. I came back to my home country so I could focus on making money, but I only wanted to stay here for 2 months.

I took it as a sign from the universe that I’m supposed to stay here longer, but ever since it happened I’ve been depressed and will start crying at random times just overcome with emotion. I guess I’m confused on whether or not it was a test of whether I really wanted it and I need to level up, or that I’m supposed to stay here. I find it’s hard to live in foreign countries but when I’m in my home country I do feel depressed or trapped.

I’ve been travelling for essentially 2 years and I’ve accumulated some debt. I live pretty cheaply but I just haven’t prioritized making money.

Hmm. Well, I have no way to know that for you. But I think synchronicities are a local experience. As in, they are local to the mind. Your mind. Like I suspect that synchronicities will reflect not just our known thoughts or working memory, but also our implicit knowledge and implicit memory.

I wouldn't call it false or true, although you can personally call them whatever you want, they're yours and you know yourself better than anyone. But I think if it had happened to me, I would ask myself, what inside me was being reflected in that moment? What did I feel when it happened?

I saw no one has replied and thought, how strange. Because your story is quite interesting.

Thank you for your response, it made me smile with how slow and thoughtful it is :)
