Friday the 13th

I wouldn't I say I'm completely superstitious, but I definitely wouldn't say I wasn't superstitious at all. But to be honest, I don't think that I know of many bad things that have happened on a Friday the 13th. I know a few things though, but not many.

Nevertheless, I have always felt like something bad should happen. But, for some reason, I didn't think that today. I was a whole lot more superstitious a few years ago than I am today. I think the reason I'm not so superstitious anymore is that I've discovered that whenever I think something bad will happen nothing actually does and vice versa. But if something bad had happened today, I would have for sure blamed it on the date.

This might sound weird, but I have a weird dislike towards odd numbers. For example, years where I'm turning an odd number age, I used to believe would be a bad year. And the thing is, because I used to spend the whole year thinking it would be a bad one, I used to not enjoy it as much as I could have. So because I was superstitious, I gave myself bad years.

That's another reason why I've stopped being as superstitious. 

Whether you're superstitious or not, I hope you've all had a lucky Friday the 13th, or at least a normal one.
