I am constantly followed by a black cloud *cue dramatic violins*

But seriously, I think life is mostly what you make of it. It isn't fair and you're sometimes dealt a bad hand but you still can make it work. A lot of the bad situations I found myself in would've eased up eventually if I was a bit more proactive or had more hope instead of surrounding myself with negative thoughts.

I'm not certain if I believe in luck or not, but if it does exist then it must be not coming my way. I have to work extra hard just to get the simplest of things. No luck at all. In any case, I'm glad I don't have it because I have something more valuable than luck...SHEER DETERMINATION. I FORCE "Lady Luck" to give me what's mine & I don't care how long it takes.



That's my thinking too... I don't leave in luck but sometimes it works out better than planned 😉

You're correct. I'm very forceful when I want something, so I'll make several attempts to get it but if all of them fail then I leave it up to whatever is out there. & 9 times out of 10 things do turn out in my favour when I let fate have the final say.

I think my lesson in this life is to learn how to swallow the chill pill lol. Because I get really fired up when things don't go my way. Can't relax.

My euro name in my mothers country means " lucky lady"
I've always known I would get what I want, I consider it lucky but more so determined. Things don't fall into my hands and I don't win huge windfalls. I consider it lucky to win anything even a small division payout in lotto. I make my luck with hard work and an optimistic outlook. When things go wrong I don't dwell on the negative for too long and if it's bad, my mind then thinks that I'm lucky considering many others are going through much worst!

I have... weird luck.

I find money a lot, but only when I'm not actively looking for it. If I actually need the cash it'll never be there. I have a great talent for escaping disaster unscathed; like a few weeks ago when someone ran a red light and t-boned the car right in front of me because I had let off the gas to grab my phone. No idea why. But then I'll avoid something like that just to turn around and step on a nail. It's nothing short of a miracle that I've never been arrested. The second I have bad intentions about doing something the universe likes to come out of left field nowhere to karmically bitch slap me.

There have been so many times where I should have died, been grievously injured, thrown in jail, or broke and homeless on the streets but here I am having had to work hard but never really wanting for anything. I'll never win the lottery but as long as my intentions in life are good I'm pretty much protected from calamity while wandering around in idiot mode.
