We tend to notice what our brain is drawn to. Just because you didn't notice it before doesn't mean it wasn't there. My wife is a firm believer that butterflies are a sign of something good for her. You see butterfiles everywhere as they are a very popular symbol. I tend to think that people just like the image, so they put it on things. For a long time after I was married, I noticed the things about my wife that made us different without noticing the many more things that made us alike. We had a rough time about 6 years ago and began marital counseling. We each separately took a personality test that showed we were statistically the same in 15 of 16 categories. It was only then that I noticed how true it was. Selective perception is something that happens to everyone.
