A Case Of Bad Luck

With good luck comes bad luck; it's a balancing act.

A Case Of Bad Luck
Rodas coaching

In life, one must go through their ups and downs. And let me tell ya, being a superstitious person myself, once you hit your downs it's hard to get back up. Bad luck is real folks and once you've experienced it it's hard to deny it. Bad luck can come in threes, or it can come all at once and hit you like a train.I've learned if I'm having a lot of "ups" and positive things are occurring, it won't last too long. This was proven once my good luck ran out and a series of unfortunate events began to occur in my life. (One being in a huge car accident right before final testing). Maybe it's that lucky bracelet you didn't wear with you or that unlucky sock, but the world may never know if bad luck, karma or superstition are actually real. One day you may feel as though the whole world is against you and wants to see you fail, and the next you may feel like you've conquered it all. Bad things that happen to you can really knock you down, and those experiences can put you in a slump. It can feel impossible to get out of a slump, but with a positive mind you can see the good in every bad situation.

Bad luck happens a lot in life, especially when you step back and realize how lucky you really are. People often take things for granted, but once bad luck strikes hard, it opens your eyes to how fortunate you truly are. The key is to grow from bad luck. In ways, bad situations can make you stronger, build your character and open your eyes to the world. If you think of it like this, in no time you'll be back on top! Don't let this bad luck cloud hover over you because, alas, everything is a balance!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
