Why am I seeing 44 everywhere?

For the past couple of weeks I have seen 44 almost every single time I look up at the clock and EVERYWHERE. Literally all day everyday. I’ve woken up to the clock being 5:44 or 2:44, it’s not a coincidence anymore. This happened once 2 years ago for like a month straight. I am going through one of the roughest times in my life right now. I’m not sure if this could mean protection of some sort.
