I do not believe in the supernatural, magic, ghosts or anything like that. However, I can be very superstitious about tempting fate and won’t make jokes or flippant remarks that could be interpretted as such.
For example, my partner made a dark joke about how she’d rather have cancer than such and such. I begged her not to say such things, not because the thought of her having cancer upset me (although it did), but because it feels as if saying stuff like that could make it happen.
I get superstitions about being cocky or headstrong. Nearly every time I do, the universe corrects my behavior, typically by me failing in some huge, embarrassing fashion.
This is it for me but for acknowledging good things in my life out loud. I can go weeks with something pleasant and the second I start telling people in my life about it it evaporates within the week.
To the point that get sorta dodgy when bestie asks me for life updates, I’m in my head like is this too good to actually share? Am I ready to let this go?
I just want to share nice things :(
