0.000 HBD(Un)lucky Number 13 - What is it for you?
<html> <p>I know it's been a while since I've posted (AGAIN. I know) but I won't go into all the excuses as to why (at least not in this post), so I'll jump right in.</p> <hr> <p>Since it's <strong>Friday the 13th</strong> here already (as I'm on Latvian time, 2 hours ahead of London) - I wanted to dedicate this post to this Number - 13. </p> <blockquote><em>Wtf. I literally just finished typing number 13 and my entire screen froze which is actually hilarious! Nice one, WiFi </em>🙄</blockquote> <p>https://steemitimages.com/DQmVvTncuuoVDiVvt8sp5fDnPZATpAUbMDS6zFXrwv2RNXs/Friday_the_13th.jpg <a href="http://weclipart.com/gimg/96283A654E32EB5C/Friday_the_13th.jpg"><em>Image source</em></a></p> <p>I'm actually not a believer in Friday the 13th being an unlucky day (as it may be perceived by many in the Western culture) but what I have noticed over the course of years is that Number 13 in particular has been popping up throughout some of my most memorable life events. </p> <p>Not all of them were tragic or bad, in fact - majority of them were very positive but I have always kept it at the back of my mind and wondered if it's just a pure coincidence, or if there is actually some sort of correlation with that day of the month?</p> <hr> <h3>Let's look at some of the events that happened to me on the 13th:</h3> <ul> <li>My mum died on the 13th of October when I was 14</li> <li>I started by first relationship on the 13th when I was also 14</li> <li>I got my first job on the 13th when I was 16</li> <li>I passed my driving test on the 13th of February when I was 17</li> <li>My ex's birthday (of 3 years) was/is on the 13th of April (happy birthday by the way! Lol)</li> </ul> <p>...and I'm pretty sure there were probably other big life events that also happened to be on the 13th (I just can't seem to remember them now but I know there were more).</p> <hr> <p>I mean, I certainly can't make any groundbreaking conclusions out of this but part of me does think that it is a little bit weird that some of my most memorable life events (minus Ben's birthday, of course), and my 'firsts' happened on the same day of the month.</p> <p>https://steemitimages.com/DQmYR36fo1fdrw3P9fG6jktFSqkZ2DBcLABciPehsgayWyj/happy-friday-the-13th-may-all-of-your-irrational-superstitions-remain-at-bay-today-a9e3a.png </p> <p><a href="https://www.someecards.com/usercards/viewcard/happy-friday-the-13th-may-all-of-your-irrational-superstitions-remain-at-bay-today-a9e3a/?tagSlug=encouragement"><em>Image source</em></a></p> <hr> <h3>I'm quite curious to see what you guys have to say about this and if you consider Number 13 to be unlucky or lucky or nothing at all? And if anything like this has happened to you as well?</h3> <p><br></p> <p>Like I said, I'm not superstitious at all but I wanted to share this with you (considering IT IS Friday the 13th) and see what you have to say.</p> <p>Love,</p> <p>Inga x</p> <p>https://s31.postimg.cc/xdkp3jqor/IMG_6061.jpg </p> <p><em>By the way, don't tell my dog Milo about this... I don't think he'll forgive me.</em></p> <hr> <p>P.S.
