7 Reasons Why I'm Bad Luck

In This Article:

My bad luck has been on the warpath as of late. The saying that bad things happen in 3's is so NOT relevant here.

1. I almost broke my elbow.

Just a little over a week ago I slipped down the stairs and used my elbow to brace myself during the fall. Bad idea! The bone got severely bruised, and I was confined to a sling for a week.

2. I got a flat tire.

I went out for a much-needed girls night out that ended with me having a flat tire. Due to my unfamiliarity with the road and it being late I hit the ditch and popped a tire. The night was worth it though!

3. I got a ticket!

Just a couple of weeks ago I was bragging that I never got a ticket. I should have knocked on wood. My wallet went missing, so therefore I didn't have my license with me. This happened on the same night I popped the tire. An officer drove by and waited with me for a tow truck. When I couldn't produce a license, I got a ticket for $158!

4. My car got towed.

Even though the girls night portion of evening cost me no money going out Saturday night has cost me quite a bit. To pick up my car Monday from the towing company it cost me over $300!

5. I injured my knee.

After everything else that happened, I woke up Sunday morning a little hungover and my left knee that I've been having issues with decided to flare up. My weekend was a train wreck.

6. My bf lost his job.

After 5 weeks of suffering at a job that was paying him 20% less than the job, he had before they let him go. It wasn't going to be a long-term place, but it kept the bills paid for that time.

7. I stepped on a tac!

Just when I thought that the week couldn't get worse, last night while getting ready to take a shower, I stepped on a Tac! I have never in my life experienced such pain. Then I had to pull it out and that hurt even worse! My foot was bleeding, and of course, I was in pain but pissed off at the same time.

Not only have I been experiencing these troubles it's like everyone I know is having a run of bad luck. My Odyssey Family has been struggling and so have my friends. Not to mention all this has been happening since August's full moon.

Did I anger the Gods? Am I bad luck? There is no place for things to go but up! They have to, right? I mean it couldn't possibly get worse (Fingers crossed). Please say a prayer and send good vibes for me and my Odyssey family as well as my friends!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
